DIDCOT: An 18-year-old man was arrested after a driver failed to stop for police before being involved in a crash that left an 86-year-old man with broken bones.

Police doing a road safety check tried to stop a black BMW at about midday on Sunday in Glebe Road.

Officers then found the car at the scene of a collision with a Nissan Micra in Tamar Way.

The driver of the Micra was taken to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The teenager, from Didcot, was arrested on suspicion of failure to stop when required by a constable, driving a vehicle dangerously, using a vehicle without insurance, and taking a vehicle without consent.

He was bailed until July 7.
