Police have appealed for witnesses after a fail to stop road traffic collision on the A38 at Rooksbridge, near Burnham-On-Sea, which injured both the driver and passenger.
Shortly after 2pm on Good Friday (April 14th), a Ford Fiesta car was being driven by a woman with her elderly mother in the passenger seat when the Fiesta was struck from behind by an unknown vehicle.
The collision caused the Fiesta to leave the road and then collide with a tree, but the other vehicle left the scene without stopping.
Both the driver and her mother were later treated for whiplash injuries at Weston General Hospital and the Fiesta suffered severe rear-end damage.
Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the collision or may have been traveling on the A38 at the time. You can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
