TWO young children and a couple in their 70s were among those injured in a four-car collision at Binfield on Saturday.

Thames Valley Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which closed the Coppid Beech Roundabout for much of Saturday afternoon.

They said that a grey Ford Focus, a Nissan Qashqai, a Polestar 2 and a red Volkswagen Polo were involved in the collision which took place on a slip road at the Coppid Beech roundabout around 1.20pm on Saturday, January 22.

Two children, aged seven and ten, a woman in her 20s, a woman in her 40s and a man and a woman in their 70s suffered minor injuries.

All were either checked at the scene or taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading as a precaution and released later that day.

PC Martin Danks, of the Joint Roads Policing Unit, based in Reading, said: “I want to reach out to the public for any possible dash-cam footage people may have of this collision but to also thank those that stopped to assist before the emergency services arrived.

“The collision caused two of the vehicles to catch fire, and I understand a good number of people stopped and assisted in getting those involved, some of whom were injured, out of the burning vehicles.

“Unfortunately, many who had done the good deed left before leaving their details, likely because they did not see the collision itself and thought their bit was done.”

He added: “I would like to praise those that took the time to stop and help but please get in touch with us if you haven’t already.

“Anyone with information should call 101 or make a report online, quoting reference number 43220031808.”
