The driver of a white Ford Transit van was forced to swerve to avoid a dark coloured HGV, and collided with a road sign in the central reservation, causing extensive damage to the sign and vehicle. The driver was uninjured.

The driver of the HGV failed to stop following the incident.

Police are looking for anyone who noticed a HGV being driven erratically around the time of the incident. They are particularly keen for anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
