A woman has died after her Porsche was involved in an accident on the A11 near Mildenhall.

The incident happened around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 1 between Elveden and Barton Mills and involved a truck, a Land Rover Defender and a Porsche.

The Land Rover and the truck were traveling on the southbound road when they collided and the truck crossed the central reserve where it then collided with the Porsche traveling in the opposite direction, according to police.

The Porsche driver was seriously injured and was taken by air ambulance to Addenbrookes Hospital, where she died sadly yesterday, Friday 3 June.

Pending the coroner’s formal investigation, she has been provisionally identified as Catherine Moore, 73, of Ware in Hertfordshire.

The driver of the truck, a 50-year-old man, was taken to West Suffolk Hospital after suffering injuries that are not believed to be serious.

The collision caused extensive damage to the reserve’s central barrier and the A11 was closed in both directions until 5.30am on Thursday 2 June.

Officers call no witnesses and ask anyone driving in the area with a dashboard camera installed in their vehicle to check the images for anything that might be helpful.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, citing reference 37/33671/22.
