Swindon Nurse Killed on A419 After Car Breaks Down

Police appeals for witnesses or dashcam footage will determine key evidence in the Serious Collision Investigation Team's probe.

Overview

  • Sarah Jayne Crook, a 38-year-old nurse and mother of six, died after a Vauxhall Vivaro collided with her Toyota Aygo on the A419 near the White Hart Roundabout, an incident that occurred on Friday, June 5.
  • Police say the Aygo is believed to have broken down on the northbound carriageway just before the collision and that the van driver suffered no reported serious injuries; no arrests have been made.
  • Wiltshire Police's Serious Collision Investigation Team is asking anyone with dashcam footage or eyewitness information to contact them as they continue to gather evidence for the inquiry.
  • Colleagues at Great Western Hospital, friends and local residents have paid tribute to Crook’s kindness and dedication, and her family have asked for privacy while they make funeral arrangements.
  • A community GoFundMe set up to help Crook’s family with funeral costs has raised more than £25,000, reflecting strong local support and easing immediate financial pressures for the six children.
