Woman hospitalised after crash between Porsche and Toyota along busy road near Chesterfield
A woman was taken to hospital after a crash involving two cars – which took place along a busy route outside Chesterfield.
Derbyshire Police were called to reports of a road traffic collision between two cars at Span Carr – just after 8.30am on Tuesday, July 8.
The incident, which involved a Porsche and a Toyota, occurred at the junction of Matlock Road, Birkin Lane and Alicehead Road.
A force spokesperson said: “A woman aged in her 60s was taken to hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries to her head. Nobody else was hurt.”
Derbyshire Police added that the speed limit was reduced from 60mph to 50mph along the route, with this change being implemented several years ago. The local safer neighbourhood team attend with their speed gun to monitor drivers on the A632, along with CREST.
DCC has cleared a lot of vegetation to ensure drivers at the junction have better vision. They have also provided warning matrix boards to alert drivers on the A632 that vehicles are waiting to pull out of Birkin Lane and Alicehead Road, as well as improving signaling prior to the junctions.
