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.
