POLICE have released images of a potentially key witness to a horrific crash which left a Hampshire teenager with life-changing injuries.

Officers believe this man saw a smash on the A35 which sent 16-year-old Georgina Saville into a coma.

Four Hampshire men have been arrested on suspicion of driving offences and released on police bail.

The collision in Dorset on Saturday May 7 injured four people from Southampton, with Georgina and a 23-year-old man still in hospital. Their injuries are no longer deemed life-threatening but were described as "life-changing".

Two men aged 21 and 28 were taken to Dorset County Hospital for treatment to serious but not life-threatening injuries and have since been discharged.
Both lanes of the A35 were closed for around nine hours while collision investigators examined the scene.

Police are appealing for help to find the pictured man, who they believe was part of a group of motorcycle riders involved in the collision between Yellowham Hill and Puddletown at 1.10pm.

Police Sergeant Joe Pardey, of Dorset Police’s Traffic Unit, said: “Following a number of initial enquiries I am now able to release a photo of a man I would like to speak with in relation to the incident as I believe he may have witnessed the collision and can help me with my investigation.

"I believe this man was part of the group of riders, but those members of the group we have spoken to have unfortunately been unable to identify him.

"I would urge this man to contact police as soon as possible as he may hold valuable information regarding the incident.

"If you know who this man is, please contact me urgently on 101."

Sergeant Pardey added: "I am also still keen to hear from anyone who either saw the collision or the manner of riding of any of the motorcycles involved as they travelled along the A31 and onto the A35."

A 20-year-old man from Fareham and three men from Southampton, aged 18, 27 and 28, have been arrested and are on police bail until next month.
