A tragic road accident in the UK has claimed the life of a 40-year-old woman and left five children injured, according to a report by the Daily Mail. The collision occurred on the evening of Tuesday, July 29, when a black Mercedes 220E limousine collided with a black Citroën DS3 at a junction in Northamptonshire.
The incident took place at the crossroads between Wellingborough Road and Broughton Road in the village of Pytchley, near Kettering. Emergency services were called to the scene at approximately 10.15pm. The injured passengers were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Northamptonshire Police have confirmed that two men have been arrested in connection with the crash. A 53-year-old man from Bedfordshire and a 22-year-old man from Northamptonshire are currently in police custody as investigations continue.
According to police, the Mercedes was carrying six passengers at the time of the collision. The deceased woman, aged 40, was a passenger in the Mercedes and sadly died at the scene. A nine-year-old girl who was also travelling in the vehicle was transferred to Birmingham Children's Hospital for further treatment.
Four other individuals from the Mercedes, one adult and three children, were admitted to hospital with minor injuries. Two occupants in the Citroën DS3, one adult and one child, have sustained minor injuries.
In a public appeal, a spokesperson for Northamptonshire Police said, 'Detectives from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit would like to hear from anyone who may have dash-cam footage that captured any part of the collision." More details in the case are awaited as police investigates the matter.
This incident occurred just hours after another collision took place outside The Rising Sun pub near Basingstoke railway station. In that crash, which happened around 6pm on the same day, two vehicles were involved, though injuries were reported to be minor, reported Basingstoke Gazette.
