Can you identify this hit & run truck?

So was there ever any update on this story?

I notice the posters are still doing the rounds, even on the ferries.

Im still fairly certain it will be Slovenian or Austrian with those digits! Did any info come out at the inquest?

And what about the incidents on the M6 near Sandbach?

Both posts had such a good response in the early days?

AA on German Reg would mean Achen,if all Letters then may be Holland,but the letters on Reg or Courtain?

Can’t be Holland as all truck rego’s start with ‘B’ and trailers must start with ‘O’.

Hunt for lorry after fatal crash

Harry Simcox, 10, suffered fatal injuries in the crash
Police are hunting a lorry driver who failed to stop after a crash in which a 10-year-old boy was killed.
The fatal collision happened on the westbound A303, near Thruxton, on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border at about 1400 BST on Tuesday.

Police say the lorry struck a Peugeot car, containing a father and son, which then spun across the road and hit another lorry parked in a lay-by.

Harry Luke Simcox, from Milton Keynes, died in hospital from his injuries.

His 39-year-old father suffered serious head injuries and was taken to Odstock Hospital in Salisbury, where he remains in a critical but stable condition.

Police investigating the crash are trying to trace a lorry with the sign - AA LL EN - on the back.

Inspector Dave Watkins, who is leading the investigation said: "It’s vital that we identify all the vehicles involved in this tragic collision.

"We are particularly interested in identifying the blue and white lorry with the red lettering on a plate attached to its rear.

“We know the lorry turned off the A303 at the A338 turning and we would appeal for anyone who saw the lorry around the time of the incident, or who has any information about it, or its whereabouts to contact us.”

COMMENT. If anyone can identify this driver, then please contact Hampshire or Wiltshire Police, or your local Police Station. This driver is not deserving of our protection or cameraderie.

It could be a company called A Allen, the spaces could be where the bars for the doors pass through the name. Just a thought and my other thoughts are with the family.

my thoughts are with the family concerned,as they are for the families in russia.this person who done this ain’t no professional driver.what a gutless person he/she is.if anyone out there does know this company or better still the guy behind the wheel please report him/her as they need to be taken of the road asap.condolences to all concerned :cry: :cry:

back up to the top!!
The BBC are now making an appeal for any trucker who may have seen or know the whereabouts of this truck!

Driver behaviour

Police investigating the crash are trying to trace a lorry with the sign - AA LL EN - on the back.

The lorry failed to stop at the scene of the collision and detectives do not know its destination.

Sergeant Andy Timms said: "We have alerted the ports and other intelligence sources, and we have been researching haulage firms, CCTV, and are pursuing lines of inquiry along the route we believe the lorry may have come from.

The Peugeot spun across the road and hit a parked lorry

"We have also spoken to the haulage industry publications and released information through their sources and across the CB network.

"We are appealing to haulage firms, transport managers, and anyone in connection with the industry.

"We want them to be alert for a lorry with a white cab and blue back and sides, which may have fresh damage to the front, or whose driver may be acting differently.

“We need the industry to help us, to put a closure on the inquiry,” he said.

Maybe this post should be made a “Sticky”

i second that

Done.

well done lucy

It might have helped if they said what kind of lorry?? It sounds like a rigid?? could be a 7½ tonner in which case it could be hired … endless possibilities

Hi TheBear, according to the information given on the 2nd link below, it was an articulated lorry with a white tractor unit. The 1st link shows a picture of what was left of the white Peugeot. What a mess. :cry:

The truck driver wants stringing up by his [zb]'s. Let’s hope they do trace him/her. My sympathies to the family, relatives & friends. God bless. :cry:

One story reports it to have a sign on the back AA LL EN and the other reports it as a registration plate?

hopefully judging by the lettering on number plate it shouldnt be too long before this lorry is traced…its one thing to have an accident/ put your hands up and be punished,
quite another to do a runner leaving this sort of carnage behind.
no sympathy with the driver at all.
any updates any one …keep us informed…

and hey… b4 sum 1 puts there oar in, this is slightly different…

I saw 2 tippers coming off the 303 with AVALON on the back

Slightly different but worth a try on crimewatch!
