Police are appealing for witnesses, information and dash cam footage following a serious road traffic collision on the A505. 

At around 7.20pm on Wednesday 6 August, a blue BMW and a blue Kia Picanto were driving from Hitchin towards Luton when they were involved in a collision near Beech Hill.

The driver of the Kia, a woman aged in her 60s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. 

A 44-year-old woman from Bedford was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving while unfit. She has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Sergeant Tim Davies from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: "Our enquiries continue as we look to establish the circumstances around this collision.

"I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who was driving in the area at the time and has a dash cam fitted in case they recorded any crucial footage. This can be uploaded via herts.police.uk/dashcamupload

"Additionally, if you saw either vehicle travelling in the area prior to the collision, or have any further information, please get in touch via email at [email protected]." 

You can also report information online at herts.police.uk/report, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat at herts.police.uk/contact or call the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime reference 41/74279/25.

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org

In an emergency, always call 999.
