Witness appeal

Dear Resident

We are appealing for witnesses, information and dash cam footage following a fatal collision in #HemelHempstead.

The collision occurred on the A414 Breakspear Way, near to the junction of Buncefield Lane, at around 10.35am on Wednesday 22 July.

A pedestrian, a man aged in his 50s, and a silver Hyundai i10 were involved. The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries and has since sadly died.

His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

The driver of the car has been assisting officers with their enquiries.

Detective Constable Felicity Walker, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the man’s loved ones at this difficult time.

“We have been conducting several lines of enquiry since this collision took place and are now seeking the public’s help.

“If you were driving in the area at the time and witnessed anything leading up to the collision or after, please get in touch no matter how small or insignificant the details may seem.

“If you have a dash cam fitted, please review your footage as you may have captured something that could assist with our investigation.”
