THAMES Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a road traffic collision that left a nine-year-old boy hospitalised.

It follows an incident in Leibenrood Road at around 5.20pm yesterday, Friday, April 12, where a white Citroen Relay van collided with the boy, who was riding a bicycle.

He sustained a serious injury to his head, and remains in hospital undergoing treatment.

A 42-year-old man from Henley has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving whilst over the limit of a controlled drug as well as driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.

He has since been released under investigation.

PC Anthony Alderson, of the Roads Policing Unit, said: “I want to appeal to anyone who witnessed this incident, or who has any dash-cam footage that could be useful, to get in touch as soon as possible.
