Walsham le Willows – Serious collision

Police are appealing for witnesses following a serious road traffic collision in Walsham le Willows last week.

Officers were called at just after 10.30am on Friday 13 September to reports of a two-vehicle collision in Wattisfield Road, involving a silver Kia Soul and a silver Land Rover Discovery.

One of the parties involved – a man aged in his 80s – was taken to hospital having sustained serious injuries and he currently remains there for treatment.
