Man dies in crash

A MAN has died after a crash on the Crowthorne Road on Tuesday morning.

Just after 8am, a lorry, four cars and a tractor collided on the stretch of road between Ringmead and South Hill Road.

The driver of the lorry, a 56-year-old man from Thatcham, died at the scene. No others were seriously hurt.

Investigating officer Sergeant Matt Cadmore of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, based at Taplow, said his thoughts are with the man’s family and friends at this very difficult time.

He said the man’s next of kin have been made aware and are being supported by specially trained officers.

Sgt Cadmore added: “This collision occurred at a busy time of the day, and I am appealing to anybody who witnessed it to please make contact with police.

“I would also urge anybody who has dash-cam to please check this and contact us either on 101 or online, quoting reference number 43210199242.”
