Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward following a serious injury collision in Bournemouth.
The incident occurred at around 12.25am on Sunday 18 August 2024 on the A338 Wessex Way between the Cooper Dean roundabout and the Blackwater junction involving a silver Audi A1 and a pedestrian.

“In particular, if you have a dashcam fitted to your vehicle I would ask you to please check for any footage captured of relevance that may assist our enquiries.
