Officers seriously injured after speeding car collides with marked vehicle
Two officers are in hospital with serious injuries after a car collided with two stationary vehicles, one of which was a police car, at around 5.30am on Sunday (September 2).
The silver Ford Focus collided with a Toyota Prius that had been stopped by officers in Norden Road, Maidenhead.
The Prius was hit with so much force that it was turned on its side.
Two Thames Valley Police officers suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and a girl in her late teens was also injured.
Three other people were treated for minor injuries.
A witness at the scene said they saw the driver of the Ford Focus flee from the vehicle, leaving the female in the passenger seat.
The road was cordoned off but was re-opened at around 8pm on the same day.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing and two 24-year-old men have been arrested. They remain in custody.
Sergeant Darren Brown of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit said: “We are in the early stages of investigating this collision in which members of the public and two police officers have been injured.”
The force is appealing to anyone who saw the Ford Focus travelling along Norden Road or witnessed this collision to come forward.”
“Additionally, if any motorist was passing at the time and has dashcam footage we would also ask them to get in touch,” added Sgt Brown.
