A tragic incident occurred on Monday morning as a 45-year-old Bordon man lost his life in a collision involving his silver Mercedes and the Portsmouth Road railway bridge on the B2070 near Liphook Golf Club. The accident took place at approximately 11.25 am, marking yet another fatality on the notorious old A3 route in Hampshire.

The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed yet, tragically succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Fortunately, there were no other vehicles involved in the incident, as confirmed by Hampshire Police.

Prompt emergency responses were initiated, with fire crews from Liphook and Bordon being dispatched to the scene, along with teams from South Central Ambulance and the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. The severity of the accident led to the closure of the B2070 for a significant portion of the day to facilitate thorough investigations by authorities.

Hampshire Police are now appealing to the public for any witnesses or dashcam footage from motorists who might have been in the vicinity at the time of the accident. They are encouraged to come forward with any information that could aid in the investigation. Witnesses or those with information can reach out to Hampshire Police by calling 101 and quoting reference number 44240010197.

This recent fatality adds to the growing list of accidents on the road between Liphook and Rake, with another tragic incident taking place just a month ago when a Liss man lost his life in a collision around a mile south of the current accident site.

The community is deeply saddened by this unfortunate incident, and it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of road safety. Hampshire Police will continue their investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the collision, with the hope of preventing similar tragedies in the future.
