Nicola Courtney and three-year-old son killed in A180 crash

A mother and her three-year-old son who died in a crash in North East Lincolnshire have been named by police.

Nicola Courtney, 34, and Lucas Page, from Scunthorpe, were in a broken-down Ford Focus when it was hit by a lorry on the A180 at 21:00 GMT on Friday.

The crash happened on the westbound carriageway between Stallingborough and Brocklesby, Humberside Police said.

A force spokesperson said it had made a "voluntary referral" to the Independent Office of Police Complaints (IOPC).

The referral had been made "after we received calls about the broken-down vehicle prior to the collision occurring", they added.

Officers said they believed the car had broken down in a live lane on the westbound section of the dual carriageway.

The force said a "complex investigation" was now under way to establish the full circumstances.

The families of Ms Courtney and Lucas were being supported by specially trained officers, Humberside Police said.
