Jim Barnes, a 70-year-old former police officer, tragically died in a motorbike accident in Ormskirk. His family paid tribute to him as a 'happy, caring' man who will be greatly missed. Barnes was a committed community member, serving as a Cub Scout leader and Freemason, and dedicated to charity work. In a separate incident, Umar Mahmood, an 18-year-old who appeared on Freddie Flintoff's BBC show 'Field of Dreams,' died in a car crash in Preston. The crash also claimed the life of 16-year-old Adam Bodi, with a third teenager seriously injured but stable. Both incidents are under investigation, with authorities urging witnesses to come forward with information or footage.
