A man has been arrested following a crash involving an Aston Martin sports car on the Berkshire Downs, near Wantage, in which a female passenger died.

The 24-year-old front seat passenger, who was from the Wantage area, died after the DB7 Vantage left the road leading across the Downs from Lambourn last Friday.

A 51-year-old man, who is from the local area, was later arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink or drugs.

He was released on police bail pending further inquiries and is due to report back to the police on December 13.

The dead woman's identity will not be released until she has been formally identified by the coroner.
