Six people, including two children, have been left seriously injured in hospital after a collision on the A142 over the Bank Holiday weekend.

A silver Honda CR-V was travelling on the A142 Fordham Road, between Fordham and Newmarket, at about 4.20pm on Sunday (5/5) when it was involved in a collision with a blue Ford Puma.

Four passengers in the Honda, including two children, were taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, where they continue to be treated for serious injuries.

The driver and passenger of the Ford Puma were also taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital with serious injuries, where they remain.

Detective Sergeant Shona Birkby, from the BCH Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: “This is a serious and complex investigation, and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed this collision or has dashcam footage."

“We understand it has been incredibly distressing for all involved, and the families are being supported by a specialist, trained officer.”
