Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a fatal road traffic collision in High Wycombe.

Around 2pm on Sunday (7/1), a white Nissan Qashqai and a black Lexus IS 300H were involved in a collision on the A40 London Road at the junction with Park Street, near to the roundabout with Gordon Road.

The Nissan driver, a 58-year-old man, received treatment at the scene but sadly died.

His next of kin have been informed and specially trained officers are supporting them.

Three other people were taken to hospital after suffering minor injuries but have all been discharged; the Lexus driver, a man in his forties, and two passengers in the Nissan, a man in his late teens and a teenage boy.

PC Alistair Bennett, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, said: “Sadly, a man has died following this collision and our thoughts are with his loved ones.

“We would like to appeal for anyone that witnessed the collision, or saw the vehicles involved prior to it, to contact us.

“We would also ask any drivers with a dash-camera who were in the area at the time, as well as anyone with CCTV cameras or video doorbells in the area, to check their recordings and let us know if they have captured anything that could help our investigation.

“Get in touch by calling 101 or via our website, quoting reference number 43240009196.”
