Officers attended the scene along with colleagues from the East of England Ambulance Service and a woman in her 80s who sustained serious injuries in the collision was taken to the hospital, where she remains in a stable condition. The driver of the DAF Truck was arrested for causing serious injury by careless driving.

Detective Sergeant Shona Birkby, from the Serious Injury Collision Unit, said: “If you witnessed the collision or saw the sweeper travelling in the area prior to it, please report it to us.”
