Police appeal after fatal A6 collision

Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman died following a collision on the A6.

 Emergency services were called at approximately 5.20pm on Saturday (9 November) to reports of a collision between two vehicles on the A6, Wilstead Hill near Haynes.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene, while two other people were taken to hospital with serious injuries. A number of other people were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision, or who saw a red MG ZS and a purple Volkswagen Transporter driving along the A6 between 5pm and 5.20pm, to get in touch.

Sergeant Dan Newton, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Roads Policing Unit, said: “This was a tragic incident in which sadly one woman has died and two other people have sustained serious injuries. Our thoughts are with their friends and family at this difficult time.

“We know that there were a number of vehicles who stopped at the collision but who left the scene before speaking to officers – we would urge all of those drivers to get in touch as you may be able to help our investigation.

“We’re also appealing for anyone who may have dash-cam footage of the incident, or of the Purple Volkswagen Transporter or the Red MG ZS driving prior to the collision, to contact us.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Bedfordshire Police on 101 quoting Operation Pitchford. You can also provide information through our website.
