Police launch witness appeal after Gosport collision

HAMPSHIRE CONSTABULARY have announced they have launched an ‘urgent’ appeal for witnesses and information to help their initial investigations following a road traffic incident that occurred in Gosport earlier this week; which saw a 20-year-old man sustain serious life-threatening injuries after a collision involving two vehicles in the evening rush hour.

Emergency services were called at around 5:40pm on Wednesday evening (April 9) to a report that a grey Volkswagen Golf had collided with a white Triumph motorcycle at the junction of both Broom Way and Manor Way. This Volkswagen had been travelling south on Broom Way with the motorcycle going north, before the Volkswagen turned to Manor Way.

This motorcycle driver was treated at the scene and was taken to hospital as a result of serious life-threatening injuries, where he remains at the time of writing and police investigations are ongoing. Detectives are keen to speak to anybody who may have seen the collision or either vehicle in the build-up, as well as those who have dashcam or video footage.

Investigators are urging anybody with potential information to contact the police by calling their non-emergency number 101 and quote the case’s reference number of 44260164180. They can further submit details using the online reporting tool available on the Hampshire Police website, with all official support and further guidance available on the links here.

Alternatively, readers can contact the “independent charity” Crimestoppers 100% anonymously by calling 0800 555 111 for absolutely free; or via their anonymous online forms which can be found through their website: https://orlo.uk/250kR
