A 25 year old man is in a critical condition after collapsing at “BangFace”, a 3 day music festival which was being held at Pontin’s over this weekend.
Officers were called to the holiday park on Friday at 1:55pm after they were informed by the Southport and Formby District Hospital that the man had been admitted to hospital after he collapsed. He has since been transferred to Royal Liverpool Hospital where he is still in a critical condition.
Police presume that the man had consumed alcohol that day. They are not yet sure if any other substance were taken but believe there may have been.
