Marsworth: Accident at roundabout

There was a car accident at the roundabout near Startops last Thursday, when a blue Honda was shunted a considerable distance.

A local resident whose family was involved posted on Everything Marsworth: ‘Somebody coming from the Marsworth direction at speed smashed my mum and daughter off the roundabout. Absolutely shocking. Thank you so much to the many, many people who stopped to help.

‘When something like that happens to your nearest and dearest, it’s a huge comfort to know there are so many good people here.' The mum and daughter are now recovering.
