POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a road crash in Essex which left a young woman and boy seriously injured.
The collision happened near Thaxted when the driver of a black Peugeot 206 appears to have lost control of the car while travelling along the B1051 shortly before 9:30pm on Wednesday, October 3 and struck a tree.
The driver, a 19-year-old woman and the front-seat passenger, an 11-year-old boy, were conveyed by paramedics to Cambridgeshire’s Addenbrookes Hospital after sustaining head injuries.
They both remain there in stable conditions. The pair live in the Thaxted area.
A section of the road was closed for approximately five hours while forensic collision investigators carried out their work and the car recovered.
Anyone with information in connection with this crash is urged to contact investigating officers at Dunmow Road Policing Unit on 101.
