Appeal for witnesses following serious collision near Newport

Did you see a collision near Newport yesterday (5 August)?

We were called at 1.29pm to reports of a collision involving a silver Citroen C3 and a dark green vehicle at the junction of Forest Road and Whitehouse Road.

The driver of the Citroen, a 76-year-old woman, suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital.

The other vehicle did not stop and left the scene along Betty Haunt Lane.

We believe the vehicle’s driver’s door will be heavily dented or possibly even missing.
