Appeal: Collision at Thorpe on the Hill

We are appealing for witnesses following a collision involving two cars and a lorry on the A46 at Thorpe on the Hill yesterday (Friday 5^th November.)

A white Scania lorry, a silver Ford Focus, and a grey Volkswagen Tiguan collided on the northbound carriageway of the A46, just past the Pennells roundabout, at 6.59pm last night.

The collision has left a 26-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl, who were both passengers in the same car, with life changing injuries. The drivers of both cars suffered serious injuries, and the driver of the lorry has not been injured.

The road was closed until just before 4.30am this morning while officers completed initial enquiries, and the investigation is ongoing.

We believe that there will have been a number of motorists  who will  have seen this collision, or seen the vehicles driving prior to the incident, and we would like to hear from them. We are particularly keen to see any dashcam footage.

If you can help, there are a number of ways to contact us:

• By calling 101 quoting incident 433 of 5th November.
• By emailing [email protected] – don’t forget to include incident 433 of 5th November in the subject line.
• If you wish to remain anonymous, you can report via the independent charity CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111 or online.
