Appeal after vehicles damaged on the A419

Officers from the Roads Policing Unit are appealing for witnesses following an incident on the A419 yesterday.

At approximately 8.30pm, three vehicles were struck with large rocks whilst travelling along the A419 northbound, near to the White Hart roundabout. 

It is believed they were thrown from a grass verge.

PC Ben Cox said: “During this incident, serious damage was caused to the windscreen of a HGV and two car windscreens – a Volkswagen Polo and a Vauxhall Corsa. It is extremely fortunate that nobody was injured. 

“This kind of behaviour is completely mindless and could so easily have resulted in serious injury to multiple road users.

“We are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen who was responsible, as well as any other drivers who may have been affected but have not yet contacted police.

“We’d also urge any drivers who were using the A419 at around 8.30pm who may have dash cams fitted to their vehicles to get in touch as you may have unknowingly captured vital footage.”

Call 101 and quote log number 348 of October 23.
