HAMPSHIRE POLICE have launched a nationwide hunt for a truck driver who failed to stop after being involved in a fatal collision.
Harry Simcox, 10, was killed in the accident, on the westbound A303 near Thruxton at about 2pm on Tuesday 31 August. A truck hit the Peugeot he was travelling in, causing the car to spin off the road and collide with a low loader which was parked in a roadside lay-by. The victim's father sustained serious head injuries and is in a stable but serious condition in hospital.
Officers from Hampshire Constabulary's road death investigation team are seeking the truck, which is believed to have a white cab with blue sides and back.
The police believe it may have had some form of lettering attached to the rear. It is believed to have turned off the A303 at the A338 turning towards Tidworth.
Police are keen to trace a similar truck which was seen travelling on the westbound A303 around the time of the incident. It had a rear plate carrying either the letters AA LL EN or A (then a motif) LL EN in red. They stress that this vehicle may not have been the one involved in the collision, but they need to trace it.
Ports, other police forces, industry bodies and VOSA have all been asked to help track it down; police believe the truck driver will know of the accident.
Sergeant Andy Timms says: "We are appealing to anyone in the industry to be alert for a lorry with a white cab and blue back and sides, which may have fresh damage to the front, to come forward."
