Six people, including two children, have been left seriously injured in hospital after a collision on the A142 over the Bank Holiday weekend.

A silver Honda CR-V was travelling on the A142 Fordham Road, between Fordham and Newmarket, at about 4.20pm on Sunday May 5 when it was involved in a collision with a blue Ford Puma.

Four passengers in the Honda, including two children, were taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, where they continue to be treated for serious injuries.

The driver and passenger of the Ford Puma were also taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital with serious injuries, where they remain.

“We understand it has been incredibly distressing for all involved, and the families are being supported by a specialist, trained officer.”
