Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed a tragic motorway crash on Christmas Day to come forward with any information or dashcam footage they may have. The incident resulted in the death of a pensioner who was a passenger in a white Ford Fiesta that collided with a black Volkswagen Tiguan. The victim, a woman in her eighties from the Durham area, suffered serious injuries and sadly passed away at the scene of the crash.
The accident occurred shortly after 8:30 pm on the northbound carriageway between Junction 57 and Junction 58 near Darlington. The driver of the Fiesta, also in his eighties and from the Durham area, was transported to the hospital in a serious but stable condition. Meanwhile, the driver of the Volkswagen, a man in his twenties also from Durham, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. However, he has since been released, according to a statement from North Yorkshire Police.
In light of this tragic event, authorities are urging anyone who may have witnessed the crash or captured it on their dashcam to come forward and provide any information that may assist with their investigation. The motorway was closed until 8 am the following day to allow for collision investigation and for National Highways to assess the condition of the road.
Our thoughts go out to the family and loved ones of the victim during this difficult time. We hope that with the help of any potential witnesses or footage, we can bring some closure to this heartbreaking incident. If you have any information, please do not hesitate to contact the authorities. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
