Driver injured following collision near Aylesbury Vale village
A motorist was taken to hospital for injuries suffered after they were involved in a crash in the Aylesbury Vale area.
Last night a collision occurred near Padbury and Steeple Claydon with one vehicle ending up in a ditch close to the road.
Thames Valley Police confirmed that two cars crashed and one driver was taken to hospital to receive treatment on minor injuries.
Police officers nominated the other driver for a driver improvement programme. Aylesbury volunteer officers were first on the scene and Thames Valley Police revealed another patrol was drafted in from Amersham to make the area safe.
“Luckily this turned out to be [a] minor injury,” the police force confirmed. Thames Valley Police says that three on road incidents were recorded across its area including crashes on the M40 and M25.
The police force also confirmed a stolen car was recovered in an unnamed Thames Valley location. Thames Valley Police also criticised the actions of motorists passing by the collision scene.
The police force said in a statement: “It was disappointing to see a number of passer-by drivers paying more attention to the crash than the road, almost colliding with our cones. These may now receive a warning in the post.”
"Changes to weather conditions often see an increase in collisions as roads become slippery after prolonged hot weather, please pay more attention to the road ahead and potential for increased stopping distance when braking,” Thames Valley Police added.
