Man in his forties dies after single-vehicle crash on A4146 in Stoke Hammond
A man in his forties has died after a single-vehicle crash on the A4146 in Stoke Hammond on Sunday March 22.
The incident involved a black Mercedes E320 and took place on the A4146 southbound between Newton Leys and the Stoke Road roundabout at just after 7.30am.
Police say the vehicle collided with the roundabout and that the driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, died at the scene.
The man’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
Bucks Fire and Rescue attended the scene, with two fire crews and two officers helping to make the scene safe.
PC James Holmes from Thames Valley Police’s Roads Policing Unit said: “Firstly, our thoughts are with the family and friends of the driver at this extremely difficult time.
“We are appealing for anyone with information or witnesses who may have been at the scene and have not yet spoken to the police, to please get in touch.
“I also ask any drivers who were in the area at the time and have dashcam footage to review it, as it may contain important information about the collision or the moments leading up to it.”
The northbound carriageway of the A4146 between Leighton Road, at the Soulbury turn, and Newton Leys reopened around an hour after the incident.
The southbound carriageway was closed for several hours to allow accident investigation work to take place, and it was subsequently reopened in the afternoon.
