Pensioner, 85, dies and two others severely injured after four-car crash

An 85-year-old man has died and two other people are in hospital with life-threatening injuries after a crash involving four cars.

A grey Audi A3, a grey Jaguar XE, a black Ford Puma and a grey Seat Leon were all involved in the collision, which occurred on the A44 between Enstone and London Road in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, at around 3.20pm on Wednesday, Thames Valley Police (TVP) said.

The elderly man, who was driving the Ford car, died at the scene.

A woman in her 70s, who was a passenger in the car, and the driver of the Audi suffered life-threatening injuries from the incident.

Both remain in hospital, the force said.

The Jaguar driver, a man in his 60s, was treated in hospital for minor injuries but has since been discharged.

TVP investigating officer Detective Sergeant Lyndsey Blackaby said: “Our thoughts are with their loved ones at this extremely difficult time and we have specially-trained officers supporting the deceased man’s family.

“I am appealing for anyone who saw the collision to contact us. I am also appealing for anyone with a dash-camera who was driving in the area at the time to check their recordings and let us know if they captured anything that could help our investigation.”

Anyone with information has been asked to call 101 or get in touch via the force’s website, quoting reference number 43250344163.
