Drug driving arrest after man seriously injured in A47 crash
It happened at around 2pm in Guyhirn
A 56-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving after a crash on the A47 yesterday afternoon.
The crash at about 2pm involved a white Scania lorry travelling westbound and a black Mercedes GL320 going in the opposite direction and happened at Guyhirn.
The driver of the Mercedes, a man aged in his 30s from Birmingham, suffered minor injuries, while a passenger, a man also from Birmingham, suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge.
The lorry driver was uninjured.
A man, aged 56, from the Glasgow area of Scotland, was arrested on suspicion of drug driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and possession of cannabis, a class B drug.
Sergeant Jamie Cooper, from the road policing unit, said: “This was a nasty collision between an HGV and a car.
“I am appealing specifically to anyone who may have seen the collision but then left the scene prior to officers arriving as they could be significant witnesses.”
