POLICE have appealed for the driver of a white van to come forward who may have witnessed a fatal crash involving a Coleford lorry driver.

Graham Edmunds, 56, who was delivering three caravans for Forest of Dean Caravans in Parkend, was tending his DAF flatbed lorry at the roadside when the accident happened at 6.45am on the A46 Cheltenham Road near Beckford, Evesham, on Tuesday, June 25.

West Mercia Police said it was continuing to appeal for witnesses or information following the collision between Mr Edmunds and a silver Vauxhall Vectra, which is thought to have been travelling in the direction of Evesham.

A 23-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after the crash.

Ambulance staff were unable to do anything to save Mr Edmunds, who was declared dead at the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance service spokesman said at the time: “A serious collision between a car, a pedestrian and a stationary lorry carrying three caravans has sadly resulted in one man dying.

“On arrival, ambulance crews found a car that had significant nearside damage. The lorry had rear offside damage.The pedestrian, a man, was found nearby.

“Sadly, it was immediately obvious that nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed dead at the scene.

“A woman in her 20s and a man in his 30s were assessed and treated at the scene by ambulance staff before being taken to the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch.”

Police want to speak to the driver of a white van which drove past the collision and may have information which could help them.

A force spokesperson added: “Officers would also like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision or the manner in which the Vauxhall Vectra was being driven prior to the incident.”
