Appeal for CCTV following serious collision in the Forest of Dean

Police are appealing for CCTV or dashcam footage following a serious collision in the Forest of Dean earlier this month.

An investigation has been launched following the collision between a car and a pedestrian on Sunday 5 July.

Officers were called to a report that a woman driving a silver Mercedes CLS 320 had collided with a woman on a driveway at a property on Coalway Road, Coalway at around 5.30pm.

The victim, aged in her 20s and from Lydney, suffered serious injuries to her body and head. She was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol where she remains in a serious condition.

The driver, a woman from the Forest of Dean, was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving with a revoked driving licence, driving whilst over the specified limit for cocaine and driving whilst unfit through drugs.

She has been released on bail while enquiries continue.

Officers investigating the collision are appealing for anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage which they believe to be relevant to come forward.

They would also like to speak to anyone who has any additional information and who hasn’t already spoken to police.

The Mercedes is believed to have travelled from the Lydney area to Coalway before the collision took place. Officers are appealing for anyone with CCTV showing the car travelling along this route to come forward.
