Appeal for witnesses after fatal three-car crash

A man in his 80s has died following a three-vehicle collision on a rural road between Hereford and Sutton St Nicholas.

Police said the crash happened at about 5.30pm on Saturday, 8 November, on the C1125. A grey VW Polo, a black BMW 1 Series and a grey Mazda 6 were involved.

Despite the efforts of emergency services, the driver of the VW Polo was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains in police custody while enquiries continue.

Detectives are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage from anyone who was in the area around the time of the collision, or who saw any of the vehicles in the minutes beforehand. Officers are particularly keen to trace the driver of a Tesla who is believed to be a key witness to the movements of the grey VW Polo shortly before the crash.
