Collision, Westward Ho!

Police responded to a report of a road traffic collision on the B3236, Buckliegh Road, Westward Ho!, close to the entrance of Herons Lea residential care home, which involved a car and two horses just before 6pm, on Saturday 3 April.

Both horses were quickly gathered in but the riders suffered injuries that required hospital treatment.

Police are appealing for the driver to come forward, as well as any witnesses who may have information about what happened.

Anyone who has any information is asked to email [email protected] or call 101, quoting log number 811, of Saturday 3 April.
