THE woman severely injured in Sunday evening’s crash on the A35 road in the New Forest has died.
It took firefighters from Burley, New Milton, Lymington and St Mary’s in Southampton about 90 minutes to extricate the seriously injured driver from the wreckage of her Renault truck.
The 38-year-old woman, who came from the Southampton area, was taken to the city’s general hospital by ambulance after the head-on collision with a Volkswagen Transporter MPV between Holmsley and the former Wilverley Post crossroads. She died on Monday afternoon.
A seven-year-old boy and a 40-year-old man travelling with her suffered cuts and bruises. A 10-year-old boy, thought to be a family friend, suffered head injuries.
A 44-year-old woman from Pennington, who was driving the Volkswagen heading south, suffered serious injuries to a leg and had to be cut free from her vehicle.
A 43-year-old man travelling with her was also injured, as was a dog. They were also taken to Southampton General Hospital. The dog was treated at the scene by a vet.
The road was closed for six hours for police experts to investigate the crash site.
