POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a van failed to stop following a two-vehicle collision near Royston.

As reported on www.roystoncrow24.co.uk, the incident, which occurred last Thursday, caused long tailbacks on the A505.

It happened near the Little Chef roundabout at 7.15am, and involved a blue Rover 25 and a white box van.

Shortly after the crash the driver of the van left the scene.

Investigating officer PC Steve Penhall, of Herts Police, said: "I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident take place to get in contact."

The driver of the Rover escaped the collision uninjured, but the westbound carriageway was closed while the vehicle was recovered, and there were delays on the eastbound A505 too. The road was fully re-opened by 8.30am.

Anyone with information can contact PC Penhall on the non-emergency number 0845 33 00 222, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
