Woman Seriously Hurt in A40 Collision

At shortly after 1pm on Sunday February 4 a single vehicle collision took place on the A40 at Little Barrington, near Burford.

A Proton Persona was being driven towards Cheltenham when it left the nearside of the carriageway, collided with some trees and came to rest on its roof in an adjacent field.

The driver of the vehicle, a man in his 60s and from Cheltenham, sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene.

His only passenger, who was a 61-year-old woman, also from Cheltenham, sustained serious head injuries and was flown to the John Radcliffe hospital where she remains in a serious condition.

The road was closed for 5 hours while an investigation was carried out at the scene. Any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police are asked to ring 0845 090 1234 quoting incident number 237 of February 4.
