Witness and dashcam appeal following fatal collision in Bournemouth
Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with relevant dashcam footage to come forward following a fatal collision in Bournemouth.
Dorset Police received a report at 4.04pm on Friday 3 July 2026 of a collision involving an electric unicycle on the A338 Wessex Way between the Bournemouth West Roundabout and the Richmond Hill Roundabout.
Emergency services and very sadly the rider of the electric unicycle, a man aged in his 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene. His family has been informed.
Road closures have been put in place to allow the emergency services to respond and an examination of the scene to be carried out.
Sergeant Dave Cotterill, of the Roads Policing Team, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the man who sadly died in this incident.
“We are carrying out a detailed investigation to establish the full circumstances of what happened and I am keen to speak with any witnesses who have not already had contact with police.
“I would also urge any motorists with dashcam who were in the vicinity at the time to please check their footage for anything that might assist our enquiries.
“Finally, I appreciate the road closures will have had an impact on traffic during a busy time, but the serious nature of this incident meant they are absolutely necessary to allow the emergency services to respond and to carry out enquiries.”
