Essex Police are appealing for information after a two-vehicle collision on the A120 at Galleys Corner shortly before 7pm on Saturday, August 15. A black VW Polo was involved, then left the scene before officers arrived.
The vehicle was last seen travelling along the A120 towards Dunmow. It had front-end damage and was missing its front registration plate, details police want checked against any sighting or dashcam clip from the area around the time of the crash.
A120 at Galleys Corner
The incident took place on a route drivers use as a through road, so police are focusing on people who were near Galleys Corner before or after the collision. That includes anyone who saw the black VW Polo moving along the A120, or who captured it on dashcam shortly before 7pm.
Police and other road users now have a specific task: match the vehicle’s last known direction towards Dunmow with any fresh information from the scene. The missing front registration plate and front-end damage give investigators two concrete markers to compare with any footage or witness account.

Anyone with information can use the Essex Police website or the online Live Chat service, or call 101 and quote incident 1247 of August 15. Police have asked for information from anyone who saw the vehicle before or after the collision, along with dashcam footage from the area around the time of the incident.
The unanswered point is who was driving the black VW Polo when it left Galleys Corner. Until that is established, the best leads are the vehicle’s damaged front end, the missing plate, and any recording that places it on the A120 towards Dunmow.
