We are appealing for witnesses and dash cam footage following a collision involving an ambulance near Alton.
We were called by South Central Ambulance Service at about 11.15pm on Friday 20 September to a report that one of their vehicles on a blue light run had left the carriageway and landed on its side in a ditch.
This happened on the A339, at the junction with Spain Lane. Luckily, nobody was injured as a result.
The ambulance was not conveying any patients at the time, but was on a blue light run and this caused a considerable and potentially life-threatening delay in getting to that patient, who was attended to by another ambulance instead.
An estimated £26,000 worth of damage was caused to the ambulance, which is expected to be out of commission for a further month.
A small white car, possibly a Ford Fiesta or Focus, is seen on dash cam footage but did not stop at the scene.
We are continuing to investigate a number of lines of enquiry to identify this vehicle and its driver, and are now issuing this dash cam footage as part of our appeal.
If you are this driver, or know who they are, please contact us.
We would also like to speak to anyone with relevant dash cam or CCTV footage.
Anyone with information should call 101 quoting reference 44240405658 .
