Did you see collision on A25 in Godstone?
Main article content
We are appealing for witnesses of a two-vehicle collision on the A25 Oxted Road in Godstone on Friday evening (7 March) at around 10.15pm.
The collision occurred after officers on patrol in Godstone spotted a silver Kia Sedona that was acting suspiciously.
However, when they indicated that the car pull over, it sped off, triggering a police pursuit. During the incident, the car collided with a passing car.
Three of the occupants from the passing car sustained injuries, two serious, and all were taken to hospital for treatment. The two occupants in the Kia Sedona were also taken to hospital for treatment of injuries.
A 36-year-old man from St-Leonards-on-Sea was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failure to stop, driving whilst under the influence of alcohol, driving whilst under the influence of drugs, driving without a license, driving without insurance, theft of a motor vehicle, handling stolen goods and fraud by false representation.
He has been bailed pending further investigation.
We are looking to speak to any witnesses or anyone who witnessed the manner in which a silver Kia was being driven in the area and at the time leading up to the collision.
