A man has been left in a 'critical' condition after a crash in Cambridgeshire on Saturday (November 16). Police are appealing for witnesses after the crash near Guyhirn.

A purple Ford Fiesta van was involved in a crash with a silver Vauxhall Antara in Gull Road (B1187) at about 4.20pm. Emergency services attended and the road was closed.

A man in his 40s who was driving the van was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the Vauxhall, a woman in her 40s, suffered minor injuries.

One person was cut out of their vehicle by firefighters. The road reopened the following morning after accident investigation work.

A Cambridgeshire Police spokesperson said: "Officers are appealing for witnesses after a crash near Guyhirn on Saturday (16 November) left a man in a critical condition in hospital.

"Anyone who witnessed the collision, or believes they saw the vehicles in the build-up to it, should contact a member of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit online quoting incident 333 of 16 November. Alternatively call 101."

An East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson added: "We were called at 4.23pm on Saturday 16 November to a road traffic collision on Gull Road in Guyhirn. Two ambulances, an ambulance officer vehicle, a critical care response car and a response car from Magpas Air Ambulance were sent to the scene.

"An adult man was transported to Addenbrooke's Hospital in a serious condition, while another patient was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for further assessment and treatment."

Woman's brand new car completely wrecked - hours after selling her old vehicle
Dashcam footage shows the moment a woman's brand new car was completely wrecked - hours after she sold her old vehicle. Adele Gough, 34, was running errands and had just come off Swindon's Magic Roundabout when a car hit her. Footage shows Adele driving along Country Road on the A4289 when a black vehicle suddenly veers off its side of the road and smashes into her brand new car. The collision destroyed the car and Adele spent the night in hospital with severe bruising around her lower stomach and whiplash on the back of her neck. Adele had purchased the MG Motor car less than a month prior and had only sold her old car earlier that day. She didn't press charges but she submitted an insurance claim which she hopes will cover the cost of her car - £4,499.

Watch: I cycle to work every day – this is how Lime bikes ruin my journey
Every morning, I strap on my helmet and don a dazzling silver jacket to begin a perilous journey down the A2 – or, as it is otherwise known, My Commute to Work. I live in New Cross, in south-east London, and, to get to my office in Victoria, I traverse various boroughs to cover seven miles of the city by bike. Lately, I’ve strapped a GoPro camera on too, to record the idiocy I see.
