Prime Minister David Cameron was among the first responders at the scene of a fatal Ferrari crash in Norfolk, it has emerged. The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon when the luxury sports car veered off the B1108 Watton Road in Marlingford and collided with a tree.
The driver, a man in his 30s, tragically died at the scene, while a female passenger in her 30s was rushed to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to Norfolk Police.
Cameron’s Security Team Assisted Following Crash
Reports indicate that Lord Cameron, who served as Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016, was in the area for a shooting weekend when the accident happened. His close protection officers, provided by the Metropolitan Police, were among the first to administer first aid to the victims immediately after the collision.
Authorities closed the road until 9:00 PM GMT as emergency services worked to clear the wreckage and investigate the cause of the crash.
Police Appeal for Witnesses After High-Speed Collision
Norfolk Police are now appealing for witnesses who may have seen the red Ferrari before the crash or who have any dashcam footage from the area around the time of the incident.
A police spokesperson urged the public to come forward with any relevant information that could help establish the circumstances leading up to the crash.
David Cameron’s Presence Sparks Media Attention
Lord Cameron, best known for leading the UK during the Brexit referendum, stepped down as Prime Minister in 2016 following the outcome of the vote. His presence at the crash scene has drawn media attention, but he has yet to comment publicly on the tragic accident.
As investigations continue, questions remain about what caused the Ferrari to leave the road, and whether speed or road conditions played a role in the fatal collision.
