Police appeal following a serious injury collision in Torquay

Police are appealing for witnesses following a serious road traffic collision on St Albans Road, Torquay.

At approximately 9.25am on Wednesday 3 September, we received a report of a collision on St Albans Road, Torquay.

It involved a Ford Focus and two parked vehicles - a Volkswagen Caddy van and a Mercedes coach.

Emergency services attended the scene.

As a result of the collision, a 66-year-old woman pedestrian sustained life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital, where she remains. 

A female passenger in the van sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene.

St Albans Road was closed whilst the scene was examined by specialist forensic collision investigators. It was reopened at around 6pm.

An 87-year-old man from Torquay has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

Anyone with any relevant information and dashcam footage which may assist the investigation and has not already spoken to us is asked to contact us via our website or by calling 101 quoting log 191 of 3/9/25.
