Witness appeal after serious road traffic collision on A1(M)

Police are appealing for witnesses, information and dash cam footage following a road traffic collision on the A1(M) near Baldock.

Officers were called at around midnight on Thursday 20 February, following reports of a single-vehicle collision at Junction 10.

For reasons currently unknown, a black Vauxhall Corsa collided with a barrier on the northbound carriageway.

An 18-year-old woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries while a man, also aged 18, sustained minor injuries.

Road closures were put in place to allow for emergency services to attend, and these were lifted shortly before 3am.

PC James Horn, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: “Our enquiries are continuing, and I am appealing for anyone with information to please come forward.

“Did you see what happened, or witness anything before the collision? If you have dash cam footage in relation to the collision, please upload this via DAMS.”
