Appeal after boy seriously injured in collision on the A1 at Thornhaugh

Dear Resident, 

We are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage after a teenager was left with serious injuries following a collision.

Officers and paramedics were called at about 6.30pm yesterday (17 September) to the southbound carriageway of the A1, at Thornhaugh, near Peterborough.  

A white DAF lorry was involved in the collision with a stationary black Toyota Yaris.

A 16-year-old boy, from Peterborough, who had got out of the Yaris suffered serious injuries and was taken to Peterborough City Hospital.  

The HGV driver, a 54-year-old man from Wigan, was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving.

Anyone with who saw what happened or has footage should use reference 35/72248/26 and report it through the force website.

Anyone without internet access should call 101.

Kind regards,
