POLICE have renewed calls to trace a female driver following a fatal crash which left a man from Orpington in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The incident happened on the B2042, Cold Arbor Road, Sevenoaks, at around 6.50pm on Thursday, May 31.

It is thought a blue BMW was involved in a head-on crash with a blue Mitsubishi pick-up truck.

The driver of the pick-up truck, Stanley Draper, 54, died while the BMW driver, a 56-year-old man from Orpington, suffered serious injuries.

His condition is now said to be stable.

However police would like to speak to a white woman, aged between 25 and 35, who was driving a Peugeot 206 or similar vehicle and stopped for a short while at the crash scene.

DS Scott Lynch from Kent Police's serious collision investigation unit said: "Three weeks after this collision we are continuing to investigate the circumstances of this incident and are keen to hear from witnesses.

"We believe there was a convoy of six cars travelling north along the road prior to the collision and not all of the drivers in this convoy have yet been in contact with us.

"We would therefore appeal to them or anyone travelling home at the same time this evening to think back to last week and anything they may have seen.

"This was a serious collision in which one man died and another sustained life threatening injuries.

"It’s therefore imperative that those with information come forward so we can get the best picture of what may have happened.

"Officers from the serious collision investigation unit are now keen to speak to a white female aged between 25-35 years believed to be driving a Peugeot 206 or similar vehicle, which was possibly green, who stopped for a short while at the scene of the collision."

Anyone who can help police with the investigation should contact the serious collision investigation unit on 01622 798538.
