Glasgow driver arrested on suspicion of drug driving after man seriously injured in crash

A Glasgow[1] man has been arrested[2] on suspicion of drug driving after a man was left with serious injuries following a crash in Cambridgeshire. The incident occurred at around 2pm yesterday (Wednesday, January 3) on the A47 in Guyhirn and involved a white Scania lorry travelling westbound and a black Mercedes GL320 going in the opposite direction. The driver of the Mercedes, a man aged in his 30s from Birmingham, suffered minor injuries.

A passenger, a man also from Birmingham, suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to Cambridge's Addenbrooke's Hospital. The lorry driver was not hurt in the crash, Cambridgeshire Live reports[3].

The 56-year-old man, from Glasgow, has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and possession of cannabis.

Cambridgeshire Police is now urging anyone with information to contact the force. Sergeant Jamie Cooper, from the road policing unit, said: "This was a nasty collision between an HGV and a car. I am appealing specifically to anyone who may have seen the collision but then left the scene prior to officers arriving as they could be significant witnesses."

A police spokesperson said anyone who saw what happened or has dashcam footage of the collision should report it through the force website using reference CC-03012024-0224.

Anyone without internet access should call 101.
