I WAS involved in an accident on Thaxted Road on Thursday August 14.

My car is a red Volkswagen Polo and I had just come out of the recycling centre.

Having first checked both ways to see whether the road was clear, I was about half way across the nearest lane, when the front of my car was hit by a black Peugeot 206 GTI, which was leaving Saffron Walden and driving towards Thaxted.

At the time I was rather shaken and did not think to ask whether anyone had witnessed what had happened. Having visited the scene since the accident (on foot!), I understand from someone who came on the scene immediately after the accident that there had been a woman nearby who had witnessed the accident and expressed a comment to those nearby.

If this woman would be kind enough to contact me with any information (via this newspaper) I should be very grateful.
