Police Appeal After Women Dies in Home Van Collision Clevedon Bristol

Avon and Somerset police are appealing for witnesses to a fatal collision in which a 90 year old woman died in her home last night.

A white Ford Transit van crashed into the home of the lady who died as a result.

Inspector Frazer Davey said: “This was a terribly sad incident and our thoughts are with the woman’s family at this difficult time.

“While we’re in the early stages of our investigation we know the van involved, registration WR65 LNC, left the Crab Apple pub moments before colliding with the house.

“We have already reviewed some CCTV from the local area and as a result of this process we have identified a witness who we’d like to talk to.

“At about 8.25pm someone is seen talking to the occupants of the van outside the pub.

“I’m keen for this person to call us as soon possible as I believe they may have information which could help our inquiry.

“We’re also keen to speak to anyone who may have seen the van in the moments before the collision.

“The van is quite distinctive as it is white with a black bonnet and two white stripes. It also has ladders on the roof.”

A 34-year-old woman and 33-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remain in police custody. The woman’s family are being supported by specially trained officers.

Inspector Davey continued: “I’d also like to thank all the residents in neighbouring properties who were asked to leave their homes last night for their co-operation and support.

“A gas pipe was damaged in the collision and we had to make sure it was made safe before allowing people back in their homes.

“Being asked to leave your home late at night is clearly disruptive and I greatly appreciate their patience and understanding.”

Police say: If you can help, please call 101 and provide the call handler with the reference 5218083336.
