A MAN has died in a late-night traffic collision on the A4 Bath Road near Aldermaston and police are appealing for witnesses.
The incident took place just after 12.10am on the road that links Reading to Newbury, just by Ufton Green.
A grey Mercedes travelling eastbound – towards Reading – was involved in a head-on collision with a purple Volkswagen Caddy Van travelling in the opposite direction.
The Mercedes driver, a 51-year-old man, died at the scene.
The driver of the Volkswagen has serious injuries, and was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where he remains in a serious condition.
Investigating officer Sergeant Robin Nickless, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, based at Amersham, said: “I am appealing to anybody who was driving in the area and may have dashcam footage of the collision, or the moments leading up to the collision to please contact Thames Valley Police.
“Very sadly, because of this collision, a man has died of his injuries.
“His next of kin are aware and are being supported by specially trained officers. My thoughts, and the thoughts of Thames Valley Police are with them at this very difficult time.
“If you witnessed the collision or have any footage, please contact Thames Valley Police, either by making a report online, or by calling 101, quoting reference number 43230010187.”
