Police have arrested a 37-year-old man in connection with a three-vehicle crash, which sent two people to hospital with serious injuries over the weekend. 

The incident happened after a black BMW, a silver Ford Fiesta and a silver Mercedes-Benz E350 were involved in a crash on the A40 Old London Road at the junction with A418 Thame Road just before 4pm on Saturday, October 7. 

The BMW driver, a 37-year-old man from Oxford, was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink, driving whilst unfit through drugs, and assault.

He has been released under investigation.

The other two drivers, both men aged in their 30s and 40s, suffered serious injuries and were taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital for further treatment.

Both have since been discharged.

Thames Valley Police have launched an appeal for witnesses to the crash.

Investigating officer PC Mark Sanders, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, said: “I am appealing for any witnesses to this collision, whereby two men have sustained serious injuries, to please come forward.

“Anyone with dash-cam, video doorbell or CCTV footage that might assist our investigation should also please get in touch.
