Yahoo News Police appeal after seafront horror crash leaves man and woman seriously injured
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after two people have been 'seriously injured' in a crash on the Esplanade in Weymouth.
As previously reported, Dorset Police received a report at 12.23pm on Friday 28 June 2024 that a grey Mercedes B200 had collided with an outside terrace area at The Nook bar.
According to the police, two pedestrians- a woman aged in her 20s and a man aged in his 40s – sustained serious injuries during the incident and were taken to hospital for treatment. Police have said that their injuries are not life-threatening and they have since been discharged.
The elderly male driver of the car did not sustain any serious injuries.
The Esplanade was closed to allow emergency services to safely deal with the incident.
Police Constable Steve Eastwood, of the traffic unit, said: “Our enquires are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the collision.
“The seafront would have been busy at this time of day and I am keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened and has not already spoken to police.
“Also, if you were travelling in the area and have a dashcam fitted to your vehicle, I would ask you to please check your footage for anything of relevance.
“I would like to thank the public for their patience and understanding while the area was cordoned off. This was to allow for the safety of the public and for a thorough examination of the scene to be carried out.”
