Appeal after serious Ranby Mile collision

Officers investigating a road traffic collision that left a woman in hospital are appealing for additional witnesses after some new information came to light.

The victim, a woman in her thirties, was driving along the Straight Mile near HMP Ranby when she was involved in a collision with another car.

The collision happened shortly before 5.30pm on Monday 8 December 2025 and resulted in a significant head injury to the victim.

A suspect was initially arrested at the scene but was de-arrested a short time later.

After significant new evidence came to light, officers are now issuing a public appeal for any additional witnesses to come forward.

PC Anthony Brice, who has recently taken over the investigation, said:

"This incident happened early in the evening and would likely have been seen by more people than have already spoken to the police.

"We are working to identify the driver of a black Ford Mondeo that was involved in this collision.

"We believe that person left the scene of the crash in the immediate aftermath of the collision and have been working to track them down.

"After some significant new evidence came to light, we are now issuing a public appeal to anyone who may have witnessed this collision or who saw this vehicle in the moments before the incident.

"We know that in cases like this, witnesses sometimes assume that others will have come forward already and that the information they have is not relevant.

"In this case it absolutely is relevant and may make all the difference to this investigation."

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident 26000198797.
