Appeal after woman in her 80s dies in A1 collision

A woman in her 80s has died following a collision on the A1 last night (17 November).

Call takers at Lincolnshire Police Force Control Room received multiple calls at around 8.50pm that a black Nissan Micra was driving in the wrong direction on the northbound carriageway of the A1 between Barrowby and Foston.

Officers were immediately deployed to the scene.

Shortly after the first calls came in they received a further call reporting that the vehicle had been in collision with another car, a black Volvo XC90.

Police said:

‘Despite the best efforts of emergency services on the scene, the driver of the Nissan, a woman in her 80s, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers. The driver and passenger of the Volvo suffered minor injuries.

‘The road was closed northbound from the A52 junction at Grantham up to Foston until early this morning while initial investigations were carried out.

‘It is not clear which direction the Nissan had travelled from prior to entering the wrong carriageway on the A1, and we are hoping a public appeal can help us piece together the movements.

‘We are now appealing for anyone who witnessed this incident, or saw the vehicle in the minutes leading up to the collision to get in touch. We are particularly keen to see any dashcam footage which may have captured the car in the minutes leading up to the collision, including before it entered the A1, as well as the collision itself.’
