Appeal for witnesses after serious collision in Lyndhurst

We are appealing for witnesses after a serious collision in Lyndhurst yesterday (June 21).

The incident happened in Gosport Lane around 4.30pm, when a silver Citroen C3 turned from the High Street and was in collision with a pedestrian, a woman in her 90s.

The woman suffered a serious injury to her pelvis.

Officers attended and the road was closed for around four hours while we conducted our initial enquiries.

We would like to thank everyone for their patience as we completed important work, as we know it had a significant impact on Lyndhurst for much of the evening.

As part of our investigation, a 54-year-old man from Bursledon was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving and driving whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol.

He has been released under investigation.

We are keen to hear from anyone with information which may assist our investigation, in particular anyone with dash cam footage of the collision.

If you can assist, please call 101, quoting the reference 44240261986, alternatively you can also submit this information by going to our website.
