Police appeals for witnesses or dashcam footage will determine key evidence in the Serious Collision Investigation Team's probe.

Overview

  • Sarah Jayne Crook, a 38-year-old nurse and mother of six, died after a Vauxhall Vivaro collided with her Toyota Aygo on the A419 near the White Hart Roundabout, an incident that occurred on Friday, June 5.
  • Police say the Aygo is believed to have broken down on the northbound carriageway just before the collision and that the van driver suffered no reported serious injuries; no arrests have been made.
