Cregan in prison-van crash
Date published: 27 May 2013
A PRISON van containing Dale Cregan — the killer of PCs Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone — was involved in a crash on the way to Preston Crown Court on Friday.
Four prison officers suffered minor injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment, while one prisoner was injured, Greater Manchester Police said.
It happened near the roundabout at the exit of junction 31A of the M6 northbound and involved two prison vans.
It is the second time in eight days that vans containing Cregan and his co–defendants have been involved in a crash after a shunt on Thursday, May 16.
Cregan has admitted four murders but but remains on trial as he continues to deny one remaining count of attempted murder.
