Appeal for information following crash on A14 at Coddenham

Police are appealing for witnesses following a serious road traffic collision on the A14 at Coddenham last week.

The incident occurred at approximately 4pm on Friday, December 9, on the eastbound carriageway, just past the junction with the A140.

A grey Honda Civic collided with a lorry that was parked in a layby, resulting in the driver of the car – an 80-year-old man – being flown to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, by air ambulance.

The casualty remains in hospital with his condition currently described as “critical but stable”.

The A14 was initially closed in both directions, with the westbound carriageway reopening at 6pm and the eastbound fully reopening at 9.20pm.

Officers would like to hear from any witnesses to the collision and are also asking anyone else who was driving in the area just prior to the incident and who has a dashcam fitted in their vehicle, to review the footage for anything that may be of assistance.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Roads and Armed Policing Team, quoting reference: 37/77947/22.
