Hospital treatment required following 3 vehicle crash in Weymouth

Officers investigating a serious injury road traffic collision in Weymouth are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.

Dorset Police received a report at 2pm on Wednesday 28 December 2022 of a collision on the A354 near Morrisons involving a Mercedes Sprinter van, a black Nissan Note and a black Volkswagen Polo.

Two female passengers in the Nissan, aged in their 30s and from Dorchester, were taken to hospital for treatment. One of the women sustained serious injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

The road was closed between the Manor Roundabout and Jurassic Roundabout to allow emergency services to safely deal with the incident. It reopened at around 5.50pm.

Police Constable Steven Eastwood, of the traffic unit, said: “I am appealing to any witnesses who saw what happened, or the moments leading up to it, to please come forward.

“Also, I am particularly keen to hear from any motorists who may have captured anything of relevance on dashcam footage.

“Finally, I would like to thank the public for their patience and understanding while the road closures were in place. These were absolutely necessary to allow us to safely treat the injured people and carry out a thorough examination of the scene.”
