A driver has died six weeks after her car hit three parked vehicles in Island Road, Sturry. Kent Police is appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage.

The force published its appeal on Wednesday 28 October.

What the police say happened

Officers were called shortly after 4pm on Tuesday 1 September to Island Road, the A28 through Sturry.

Kent Police said a black Ford Fiesta collided with three parked vehicles:

  • a red MG Metro
  • a white Renault Trafic
  • a grey BMW 4 Series

All three were unattended at the time.

The driver of the Fiesta, a woman in her 70s, was taken to a London hospital. The force said her condition deteriorated there and she died on Thursday 15 October.

Kent Police has not named her.

How to help

The force’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit is investigating. It wants to hear from anyone who saw the collision, or who has CCTV or dashcam footage from Island Road that afternoon.

What it means for you

If you drove along Island Road between Sturry and Westbere around 4pm on 1 September, check whether your dashcam kept the recording. Many cameras overwrite old footage, so a saved clip from that afternoon may be the only record left.

Residents with doorbell or driveway cameras facing the road can help in the same way.
