Dear Resident, 

We are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a serious collision which occurred on the A1198 in Royston.

Police were called at 3.58pm yesterday (Thursday 28 May) just prior to the A505 and involved two cars.

A grey Mercedes was being driven towards Bassingbourn and a red Mini Cooper was travelling in the opposite direction.

The driver of the Mini Cooper, a man in his 20s, suffered serious injuries and was taken to Addenbrookes hospital. The passenger of the Mercedes was also injured and taken to Addenbrookes hospital.

A woman in her 50s was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless/inconsiderate driving and released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Sergeant Jamie Cooper from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit said: “I am appealing to anyone who saw the collision or who has any information which could assist our investigation to please get in touch.
