Update, 9pm, 27 December

We are continuing to investigate this collision and are appealing for anyone who stopped to help at the scene, or who has dashcam footage of the incident, to contact us.

Original release, 22 December

Shortly before 3.45pm on Saturday* 7 December a black Porsche left the road on the A155 between West Keal and Hagnaby; the car was approaching the bridge over Hagnaby Beck.

There were two people in the car at the time, the driver who was not injured and a passenger, a man in his 70s who did attend hospital. Sadly the passenger of the car has now died. Specially trained officers will be supporting his family. 

The collision wasn’t reported at the time as it was not believed anyone had been unduly injured and the vehicle was not causing an obstruction on the road.  We did receive an independent report of the Porsche being off the road and unattended at 4.45pm. 

As a reminder of the date, the county was struck by Storm Darragh on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December. 

We are appealing for information that will assist the Investigating Officer to piece together what has happened. We would like to hear from anyone who travelled along the A155 on Saturday 7 December between 3.30pm and 4pm.

If anyone has any dashcam or other recorded footage that will assist with our enquiries we’d ask that you get in touch.

Please contact the Investigating Officer by email at [email protected] or call 01522 212316. Please refer to Incident 313 of 7 December.  

*Release amended to correct day from Sunday to Saturday.
