Child Seriously Injured, Man Arrested After A590 Dalton Bypass Crash

Police are pursuing witness evidence with the route still closed for recovery.

Overview

  • The two-vehicle collision occurred just before 9am on 11 November on the A590 Dalton bypass between the Elliscales roundabout and Dalton Roundabout.
  • The crash involved a black Range Rover and a white Hyundai i10, and occupants from both vehicles were taken to hospital.
  • Cumbria Police said a young child was transported to hospital with serious injuries, and a man in his 30s was arrested and remains in custody.
  • Emergency responders included the Great North Air Ambulance Service and North West Air Ambulance, with a helicopter reported landing at Furness General Hospital.
  • The A590 stayed closed for investigation and recovery, and officers appealed for witnesses and dashcam footage quoting log number 29 of November 11, as a separate A591 collision also disrupted travel earlier in the day.
