Tributes left at scene of fatal river crash in Boston
Flowers have been left and a candle burns beside Boston’s River Witham, where a fatal crash took place on Sunday.
Lincolnshire Police was called to Witham Bank East, near Sluice Bridge, shortly after 9.40pm on Sunday (October 5), where a black Audi A4 had entered the river.
The tributes have been left next to a damaged section of barrier.
The driver – a 39-year-old man and the sole occupant of the car – sadly died later in hospital, police said in a statement yesterday.
“The driver’s family have been informed and will be supported by specially trained officers at this difficult time,” a spokesman for the force said.
Police are appealing for anyone who was in the area of Fydell Street, Union Place and Witham Bank East from 9pm to 9.40pm and may have seen a black Audi A4 – driven or parked – to get in touch.
Anyone who has footage of the vehicle, such as dashcam or doorbell recordings, is asked to contact the investigating officer via [email protected], quoting incident number 414 of October 5.
