The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary has issued an appeal for witnesses following a report of dangerous driving in Basingstoke, Hampshire. The incident was reported on 15 March 2026, and officers are now working to piece together exactly what happened to ensure the roads remain safe.
Police are asking anyone who saw the event or who has dash-cam footage to share it with them as soon as possible. The appeal was also sent out through the Hampshire Alert system to help gather more information from people living in the local area.
This search for witnesses is part of a wider effort to improve road safety across the county. The police recently launched a £1 million road policing task force specifically designed to catch drivers who commit the ‘Fatal Five’ offences, which include speeding and careless driving.
Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones is also preparing to host a road safety meeting later in March 2026. This summit will bring together police leaders and local authorities to talk about new ways to protect residents and reduce accidents on the road.
