Isle of Wight Police are appealing for witnesses and the driver of a flatbed lorry to come forward after damage to disabled woman’s car in Newport.

A silver Mazda MX6 was parked in a disabled bay on the road named ‘Hunnyhill’ between 1.30pm and 2.00pm on Saturday, November 21, 2009 when it’s believed another vehicle collided with the parked Mazda, which has extensive damage to its passenger side.

Investigating officer, PC Sarah Waldegrave of Hampshire Constabulary’s Isle of Wight Targeted Patrol Teams (TPT) said: 

“The damaged Mazda is the only transport for a disabled 64-year-old woman, who was not in the parked vehicle when the apparent collision took place. No driver stopped at the scene to leave details.

“Enquiries to date have led to the suggestion that a flatbed lorry was seen in the Hunnyhill area at the time this collision is believed to have happened. Police would like to speak with the owner or driver of this lorry as they could have seen what happened.”

The lorry driver or anyone else with information is asked to phone PC Sarah Waldegrave at Newport Police Station on 101. Mini-Com users can call 01962 875000. Information can be given anonymously by calling the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111. From outside Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, call 0845 045 45 45.
