Police are appealing for witnesses who saw a driver stranded on the A40 near Wheatley only minutes before she was killed.

Victoria McBryde, 24, pulled over her gold Fiat Punto on the westbound carriageway on the A40 after she broke down at about 10.40pm on Tuesday, November 20. At about 11pm a green Peugeot 106 collided with the car and Miss McBryde, of Northants, was declared dead at the scene.

Sgt Bill Sykes said: "A 20-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and interviewed. She has been released on police bail to return at the end of January.

"It is really important that we speak to anyone who witnessed the collision or saw any of the vehicles prior to the collision, particularly the broken down Gold Fiat Punto (which could also be described as yellow).

"There were drivers in the area at the time of the collision who could be invaluable to our enquiries and hold essential information. We really need to speak to anyone who may have any information, however insignificant they think it might be."

Anyone with information should contact police on 08458 505505 or speak anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
