Appeal for witnesses to serious injury road traffic collision – A413, Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire

Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a road traffic collision on the A413 near Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire.

A white BMW 5 Series and a purple and black Yamaha motorcycle were involved in the collision on the A413 Wendover Road at the junction with Quilters Way at 5.40pm on Tuesday (15/8).

The motorcycle collided with the side of the BMW as the BMW was making a turn in the road due to stationary traffic.

The motorcyclist, a man in his twenties, was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford with life-threatening injuries, where he remains in a critical condition.

No arrests have been made at this stage of the investigation.

Investigating officer PC Mary-Ellen Caswell, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, said: “I am appealing for any witnesses to this collision, whereby a man has sustained life-threatening injuries, to please come forward.

“This collision occurred at rush hour where there was a large amount of stationary traffic around so I am confident lots of people would have seen it and can help us.

“In particular, I would like to speak to the motorist that was directly behind the white BMW when it made the turn across the road as it is believed they left the scene prior to our arrival.

“I would also like to know if anyone has any dash cam footage of the incident or the moments beforehand and to send it to us if you do.

“Get in touch by calling the 24-hour non-emergency number 101 or by making a report on our website, quoting reference number 43230365060.”
