Cheshire Police officers are appealing for information following a serious collision in Holmes Chapel, when a car was travelling towards Congleton.

At 5.29am on Tuesday 14 September, officers were called to Holmes Chapel Road following reports of a collision involving a silver Audi A3 and a red Peugeot 108.

It is believed to be on the Holmes Chapel stretch of the road, travelling towards our town.

The driver of the Peugeot car, a 62-year-old woman, sustained serious injuries and remains in hospital.

The occupants of the Audi fled the scene of the collision.

A 30-year-old man was arrested in relation to the incident but has since been released under investigation.

The A54, also known as Holmes Chapel Road, is a three mile drive from Congleton Town Centre, coming in via West Road.

It is home to many Congleton homes, but it is currently unknown if any witnesses saw or heard the Tuesday morning crash.

Officers are now urging any witnesses or anyone with information that could help with their investigation to come forward.

Sergeant Jonathan Marsden said: "This was a serious collision which has left the victim with potentially life-changing injuries.

"We have been completing a number of enquiries and know that the Audi was travelling from Holmes Chapel towards Congleton at the time of the collision.

"As part of our ongoing enquiries, we would like to hear from anyone who may know the identity of the occupants in the Audi.

"The same goes for anyone who may have dashcam or CCTV footage of the Audi prior to the collision as we believe this may be able to assist us with our investigation."
