We're seeking witnesses and dashcam footage after a woman died in a collision on the A361 at Frome overnight.

It happened at about 11pm on Monday 08 April on the A361 at its junction with the A362. A silver Mercedes C220 AMG was in collision with a silver Volkswagen Golf.

Tragically, the driver of the Golf, a woman in her twenties, died at the scene. While formal identification has yet to take place, her next of kin have been informed and will be supported by a specialist family liaison officer. Our thoughts are with them.

A man in his fifties remains in police custody following his arrest on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, drink driving and drug driving.

If you have any dashcam, CCTV or other footage, or any information about the circumstances leading to the collision, please call 101 and give the reference 5224089811.

We will forever be indebted to the brave souls who were/are willing to fight for our freedom and protect our country.

Lest we forget

Winter is fast approaching and we’re encouraging everyone to check in on their loved ones as the weather turns colder.

We all have someone we care about who may need a little extra support if they have ill health or are less mobile.

Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing things that you can do to help us keep those we love safe and reduce false alarms.
