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

Dorset Police received a report at 11.30am on Monday 10 February 2025 of a road traffic collision involving a Ford Kuga and a pedestrian on East Street in Chickerell.
