Following the road traffic incident yesterday involving three cars near Butterfly World, this appeal from the Police, in their own words. Our thoughts are with all those involved. Ed
Police are trying to trace the driver of a silver car which was travelling along Staplers Road from Newport to Wootton Bridge at around 9.30am yesterday.
It’s believed the vehicle may have been overtaken shortly before a collision involving a silver Citroen Xsara Picasso, a blue Ford Ka and a blue Kia estate.
Police are appealing for the driver of the silver car to come forward as they may hold information which could assist with the investigation.

Critical but stable condition
