The collision happened at about 8am on Wednesday on Lincoln Hill, when it is believed the driver of a silver Fiat Punto was performing a manoeuvre to allow another vehicle to get by.

The vehicle later flipped over causing the driver serious, life-changing injuries to her hand.

Investigating officer, PC Simon Barnes of West Mercia Police, said: "I am appealing to the driver that had been driving along Lincoln Hill prior to the incident, to come forward, as they may have important information which would help the investigation."

The driver, or anyone else with information, is asked to call West Mercia Police on 101 quoting incident 81s of 14 June 2017. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 or at crimestoppers-uk.org
