Police appeal for information following road traffic collision in Bishop's Stortford

Officers from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit (RPU) are appealing for information following a road traffic collision in Bishop’s Stortford.

The incident occurred on Northgate End at around 1.15pm on Monsay 10 June. A silver Toyota Yaris Excel left the road, for reasons unknown at this time, and collided with the Domino’s Pizza building.

Officers from the RPU, along with local officers attended the scene with colleagues from the East of England Ambulance Service and Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service.

Road closures were put in place at around 1.26pm and remained in place for over three hours while emergency services responded to the incident.

A 75-year-old man was treated at the scene and then taken to hospital for further treatment, where he remains in a stable but critical condition.

Investigations are continuing to establish the circumstances around the collision and officers from the RPU are appealing for any witnesses to please come forward.

Sergeant Tim Davies said: “I am appealing to anyone who was driving in the area at the time of the incident, to get in touch with any information. We’d be particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have captured dash cam footage.

“No matter how insignificant you think the information is, it could still support our ongoing investigation.”
