Lincolnshire Police have announced that a 19-year-old woman involved in a collision on the A52 on Wednesday has died three days later.

The 19-year-old passenger in a Citroen involved in the crash at Swaton was reported to have died, according to a police update just after 4pm on Saturday.

A police spokesman added: “Her family are being supported at this difficult time.”

The force said the incident was reported at 3.24pm on Wednesday (October 4) and involved a white Peugeot Boxer van, a grey Mercedes-Benz E Class car and a silver Citroen Xsara car.

It happened on the A52, at the Swaton crossroads junction with the B1394.

As a result of the collision, four people were taken to hospital. Three of them – the driver and a passenger in the Citroen and the driver of the Mercedes all were said at the time to have serious injuries.
