Driver bailed

CHRIS Atherton, brother of former England cricket captain Mike Atherton, has been re-bailed by police until September 18.

Atherton (38), from Failsworth, who plays cricket for the Woodhouses club where his older brother began his career, was arrested in May on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a crash on the M61 near Bolton.

Lay preacher Peter Russell (64), from New Moston, a passenger in a Vauxhall Corsa, was killed in the crash, and the driver was badly injured and airlifted to hospital.
