AN appeal has been launched after a woman died following a collision in Frome overnight.
At around 11pm on Monday, April 8, a silver Mercedes C220 AMG was in a collision with a silver Volkswagen Golf on the A361 at its junction with the A362.
The driver of the Golf, a woman in her twenties, tragically died at the scene. She was the only occupant of the vehicle.
Formal identification has yet to take place, although her next of kin have been informed and are being supported by a specialist family liaison officer.
The Mercedes driver, a man in his fifties, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, drink driving and drug driving.
He remains in police custody.
The road has now been reopened following recovery of the vehicles and an examination of the scene.
Anyone with dashcam, CCTV or any other footage or information are urged to get in touch with police.
If you can help in the investigation, call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5224089811.
