Fatal Collision Shocks Dagenham
At around 6.05am on Thursday, 30 April, emergency services rushed to Heathway at the junction with Oxlow Lane following reports of a serious road traffic collision.
The smash involved two vehicles: a white Mercedes C220 Sport and a white Ford B-Max. Tragically, the 57-year-old driver of the Ford died instantly at the scene. His family has been informed.
