Four teenagers including a girl of 16 were arrested after a grandfather was killed in a suspected hit and run road rage attack.
Andrew Dean, 46, was driving through his home town of Kirkham, near Blackpool, in his Renault van when he got into a row with another motorist in a blue Nissan Micra at a junction.
Mr Dean got out to speak to the driver. Police believe an argument began, culminating in Mr Dean being run over and suffering fatal head injuries.
