Dear Resident,

Police are appealing for witnesses, information and dash cam footage following a serious road traffic collision in Welham Green.

Shortly before 7.40pm yesterday (Wednesday 20 November), a motorbike was travelling along the A1000 Great North Road from Potters Bar when, for reasons currently unknown, it was involved in a collision with a Hyundai Kona.

Emergency services attended, and road closures were put in place overnight. 

The motorbike rider, a man aged in his 40s, was airlifted to hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries. 

The motorbike passenger, a man aged in his 50s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Sergeant Matthew O’Neill, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: “Our enquiries are continuing, and I am urging anyone with information to please get in touch.

“If you saw anything, or have any further information, please contact police. Additionally, if you were driving in the area at the time and have a dash cam fitted then please check it as you may have recorded some crucial footage. This can be uploaded at herts.police.uk/dashcamupload, and I can also be emailed with any information via matthew.o’neill@herts.police.uk.

“The road was closed overnight while emergency services attended, and it remained shut until 8.50am today (Thursday 21 November) to allow Highways to clear the scene. I’d like to thank the public for their patience and co-operation.”
