Emergency services attended the scene and a woman in her 80s was taken to hospital where she remains with life-changing injuries.

Investigating officer, Sergeant Luke Morley said: “This collision took place on a busy road where we know there were number of witnesses who may have left the scene prior to police arrival.

“We’re keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision or the events leading up to it. Anyone with dashcam footage is also asked to get in touch.”
