Two arrests made and appeal launched after fatal collision _ Bridgwater

Two men have been arrested after a 19-year-old woman died in a collision in Bridgwater last night (Tuesday 8 November).

The incident, which involved four cars, happened at around 9.50pm, at the A38 Broadway junction with Monmouth Street, St John Street and Eastover.

Officers are now appealing for witnesses, as well as anyone with relevant dashcam footage.

A passenger of one of the cars involved sadly died at the scene, and a further three people sustained minor injuries, one of whom was taken to hospital where they were later released to recover at home.

The next of kin have been notified and are being supported by officers. Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.

Two men, aged 35 and 28, have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. The 28-year-old was further arrested on suspicion of failing to provide a specimen.
