Police have shared an update on a man injured in a van fire in Macclesfield.
A huge emergency service presence descended on Maydews Passage on Wednesday, May 27, after a van and a neighbouring block of flats caught fire.
The building had to be evacuated, with a 25-year-old man airlifted to Wythenshawe Hospital.
On Friday, May 29, Cheshire Police confirmed that the man remains in hospital.
While his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, they do appear to be 'life-changing'.
The case has now been handed to the Health and Safety Executive, the national regulator for workplace health and safety.
A spokesperson for the HSE said they are aware of the incident and are awaiting further information to determine if an investigation will need to take place.
