APPEAL: Two people have died following Grimblethorpe collision

We are saddened to report that two people have died following a multi-vehicle collision which happened on a section of the A157 close to Grimblethorpe, Louth on Sunday 15 March.

The collision occurred on a straight section of the A157 just after Gayton le Wold, heading towards Louth.

A 79-year-old woman from Mablethorpe and a four-year-old boy from Birmingham sadly lost their lives following the four-vehicle collision involving a Blue Peugeot 108, a grey MG 1300, a white BMW X3, and a black Volvo XC60 – and a fifth vehicle which also sustained collateral damage.

The woman, who was the driver of the grey MG 1300, was taken to hospital but died in hospital a day later.

The little boy, who was a passenger in the Black Volvo XC60, passed away on Monday 23 March.
