Dashcam appeal after serious collision on A619 near Clowne

Officers investigating a serious collision are appealing for witnesses to come forward after four people were hospitalised.

We were called to reports of a two-car collision on the A619 between the junction with the A618 and the De Rodes Arms roundabout near Clowne at 9.45am on Saturday 12 October.

The collision involved a Nissan Qashqai and a VW Passat with four people taken to hospital. 

The driver of the Passat a man in his 60s, along with the passenger from the Qashqai, a girl of 9, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The passenger of the Passat, a woman in her 60s, suffered potentially life changing injuries, while the driver of the Qashqai, a woman in her 40s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries and remains there in a serious condition.

Officers investigating the collision are appealing for anyone who has not already spoken to officers to get in touch – in particular any drivers with dashcam that may have captured the collision, or the moments leading up to it.
