A TEENAGE driver from Haslemere died on Sunday morning, following a two-car collision on the A286 Midhurst Road, near Henley Hill.
Police identified the crash victim as 17-year-old Robert Walker from Hatchetts Drive.
The collision involved the young driver's northbound BMW, and a southbound Volvo containing a family of four. Robert Walker was the sole occupant of the BMW.
It was the third serious road collision to occur on the Midhurst to Haslemere stretch of the A286 this November.
Emergency services attended the crash scene at approximately 10.55am and the A286 was closed both ways for a number of hours.
Robert Walker was cut from his car before being rushed by ambulance to St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, but later died from his injuries.
The 47-year-old, female driver of the Volvo was also trapped in her vehicle, and suffered a broken ankle and rib injuries.
An adult male also suffered rib injuries, while a four-year-old girl had abdominal pains and a 12-year-old female passenger was thought to have an injured collarbone.
They were also taken by ambulance to St Richard's Hospital, and were in a serious, but non-life threatening condition as the Herald went to press.
Robert Walker, known affectionately as Bobby, had graduated from Woolmer Hill Technology College in the summer.
A spokesman for the college said he was very popular among staff.
Anyone who witnessed the crash and has information is asked to contact Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999, quoting Operation Stapley.
* Jon Taylor, youth worker, confirmed the annual Haslemere Outreach Project football match will be dedicated in the memory of Robert.
