Appeal for witnesses over lorry collision

Police are appealing for witnesses following a non-stop road traffic collision on the B5066 Hilderstone to Sandon Road.

At around 4.30pm on Tuesday 18th June a man was driving a white 7.5 tonne Iveco lorry when he slowed to let another 7.5 tonne lorry (described as having a blue cab and white body) pass.

But the offending vehicle was in collision with the Iveco lorry causing the wing mirror to snap off, go through the open window and hit the driver on the side of his head. Fortunately, the driver of the Iveco lorry sustained only minor injuries. The offending vehicle did not stop and left the scene.

Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward. They are particularly keen to speak to the occupants of a ‘driving instructor’ vehicle and a new-style Jaguar with a ‘13’ registration plate, who were both behind the Iveco lorry.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt Alison Kent at Staffordshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 627 of June 18.
