Two people injured in a fatal crash near Oxford "showing signs of improvement"
A woman and three children from Chinnor have died.
Two people injured in a fatal crash near Oxford on Monday night (12 October) are "expected to make a recovery".
It happened on the A40 at around 9.50pm, when a silver Subaru Outback and white heavy goods’ vehicle collided on the railway overbridge just to the west of Oxford.
It resulted in the deaths of a 29 year-old woman, eight year-old girl, six year-old boy and four year-old girl, all from Chinnor.
They are said to be from the same family.
Senior investigating officer Sergeant Dominic Mahon, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit based at Bicester, said they are "still investigating the cause of this tragic collision":
"We are able to update on the condition of the two other injured people, a 30 year-old man and an 18 month old girl.
"Although their conditions are still serious, they are showing signs of improvement and are expected to make a recovery.
"No-one has been arrested in connection with this investigation, and the driver of the HGV has co-operated fully with our investigation throughout, providing a witness statement to officers.
"I would like re-iterate my comment from yesterday to please not speculate as to the cause of this tragic collision.
"To do so would be extremely distressing for the families, and will not assist our investigation in any way.
"However, I would still appeal for anybody who believes that they witnessed this collision and have not yet contacted police to please do so by calling 101 or making a report online, quoting reference number 43200321914.
"I am particularly keen to hear from anybody with dash-cam footage to please get in touch if it has captured anything that can help this investigation.
"Formal identification of all of the victims has not yet been confirmed, and we are not yet in a position to do so, but will update as soon as we are able to.
"I would ask for the privacy of all involved in this tragedy to please be respected at what is an incredibly traumatic time."
