The rear seat passenger, a 10-year-old boy, was also brought to hospital with serious injuries, and is now in a stable condition.

The HGV was not the only vehicle involved in the collision as it is believed that a red Mini Cooper, a white Mercedes, and a black Kia were all involved as well.

However, none of the occupants of these vehicles suffered serious injuries during the collision.
