Motorists with dashcam footage are being asked to come forward following a fatal collision that took place on the A47 on Wednesday 18 January 2023.

The incident occurred shortly before 3.30pm between Houghton on the Hill and Thurnby.

A white Volkswagen Take Up collided with a Scania HGV. The Take Up then came to rest in a ditch. Officers attended with colleagues from the East Midlands Ambulance Service but the driver of the Take Up – a woman in her 30s from London – was pronounced dead a short time later.

The driver of the HGV – a woman in her 40s – was not injured during the collision. No arrests were made following the collision.

Detective Constable Maggie Langton, from the force's Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: "This collision happened on a busy road when people will have been travelling home from school or work, so I believe there will be a number of people who can provide information.

"I'm particularly keen to speak to any motorists who were travelling on the A47 and have a dashcam in their vehicle. Any footage you have could help. Likewise, I am asking for anyone who witnessed the collision occur – or who saw either vehicle beforehand – to get in touch."

You can pass on information online.

Alternatively call 101.
