Police appeal after man dies in crash

Tony Dunn died following the collision near to the entrance to Hodsock Priory, on the B6045 Blyth Road, at around 3.50pm on Saturday, November 5.

The 31-year-old, of Carlton Road in Worksop, was driving a blue Vauxhall Astra which hit a blue Nissan Navara four-wheel-drive truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The truck driver, a 49-year-old woman from Maltby, suffered serious leg injuries and was taken to Bassetlaw District General Hospital where she remained yesterday.

Detective Sergeant James Greely, of the Nottinghamshire Police Crash Investigation Unit, said: “It is believed there were a number of vehicles being overtaken by the Vauxhall at the time of the collision.

“Unfortunately none of these witnesses remained at the scene and they could provide important information about the circumstances of this tragic incident.

“I would urge these drivers to contact the police as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information should call the Crash Investigation Unit on 101, extension 800 2229.
