Derbyshire Police officers are appealing for dash cam footage after a woman died in a collision on the A50 on Monday 13th June.

Response teams were called at 4:40am to report that a white Ford Fusion had left the road and collided with a tree just off the A50 eastbound carriageway near Shardlow.

Emergency services attended and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

The affected stretch of road was closed for several hours whilst collision investigation work was carried out.

The family of the woman have been made aware.

Police officers are keen to hear from anyone who was driving on this stretch of the A50 around the time of the collision, particularly anyone with a dash cam installed which may have captured the incident.

Witnesses, or anyone with information, should make contact via the following methods quoting incident 22*336795.

If you have footage that may be useful for officers, please ensure it is securely downloaded to another device and kept safely for them to view.
