Maidenhead & Windsor

A man who was injured in a road traffic collision in Maidenhead last month has died.

Steven Molner, aged 70, of Hemsdale, Maidenhead, was the driver of a red Saab that was in collision with a green Range Rover at the junction of Queensway and Gardner Road at about 7.30pm on 31 October.

He was taken to Wexham Park Hospital, where he died on 15 November.

Two men in their early twenties, who were initially arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving under the influence of alcohol, were last night (19/11) rearrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. They are currently on bail until 22 December 2007 pending further inquiries.

Prior to the collision, the Range Rover was seen by police officers, who were on foot patrol in the area. They signalled for it to stop, but it failed to do so. Shortly afterwards, the vehicle was seen by other officers in a patrol car, but again failed to stop.

As is standard procedure in such cases, the incident has been referred by Thames Valley Police’s Professional Standards Department to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
