Serious traffic crash, Grantham

A 49-year-old man has been airlifted to the Princes Alexandra Hospital after a serious traffic crash at Grantham last night.

Initial information suggests that police were conducting patrols along Lawlers Road around 8.45pm when they observed a white van travelling on the incorrect side of the road towards them. They were forced to take evasive action by pulling off the roadway to avoid impact with the van.

Police performed a u-turn however had lost sight of the vehicle before once again coming across it a short distance away. The vehicle appeared to have rolled several times before becoming stationary on the railway line between Ditchman’s Rd and Gatton-Helidon Rd.

The male driver and sole occupant of the vehicle remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital.
