Bedfordshire Police are appealing for witnesses after a road traffic incident in Bedford on Thursday, July 2023.
At around 3.20pm, a grey Peugeot Expert was driving along Manton Lane towards Brickhill Drive, when it almost collided with an unidentified red vehicle, at the traffic-light-controlled junction, causing the Peugeot to brake harshly.
The red vehicle is believed to have carried on towards Clapham Road roundabout.
As a result, a passenger in the Peugeot was seriously injured after her wheelchair became insecure and she sadly died in hospital a few days later.
