TRAFFIC queues built up through Haslemere this afternoon this week after a woman pedestrian was involved in an accident with a lorry in Wey Hill.

An air ambulance was called to the scene, opposite Lion Green, and police set up a cordon sealing off the Wey Hill area, extending from St Christopher’s Green, past Haslemere library and west along the road.

Medics treated the casualty at the roadside before she was transported across the road to the waiting air ambulance which landed on Lion Green.

Traffic had backed up to Haslemere town centre and in the other direction toward Hindhead while emergency services dealt with the incident, which happened around 1.30pm.
