A man has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving and causing serious injury by dangerous road after a crash on the A47 between Guyhirn and Peterborough. Sergeant Jamie Cooper, from the road policing unit, said: “This was a nasty collision between an HGV and a car.
“I am appealing specifically to anyone who may have seen the collision but then left the scene prior to officers arriving as they could be significant witnesses.”
The crash at about 2pm yesterday (3 January) involved a white Scania lorry travelling westbound and a black Mercedes GL320 going in the opposite direction and happened at Guyhirn.
The driver of the Mercedes, a man aged in his 30s from Birmingham, suffered minor injuries, while a passenger, a man also from Birmingham, suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge.
