One week on from a shocking collision that left a Thames Valley police officer critically injured, the force has blasted a fresh appeal for witnesses and footage. PC Christopher Miller of the Roads Policing Unit was struck by a white BMW on Bells Hill, B416, around 10:20pm on Thursday, 22 May while on duty.
Police Hunt Key Witnesses and Video Evidence
Detective Superintendent Will Crowther revealed officers returned to Bells Hill last night, speaking with motorists to jog memories or find new leads.
“We spoke to drivers on Bells Hill exactly one week after the collision. Our appeal continues, and we urge anyone who may have seen the white BMW before or after the incident — or has dashcam or CCTV footage — to come forward,” said Det Supt Crowther.
“The BMW involved would have been visibly damaged. Any sightings of this vehicle or unusual activity in the area that evening could be vital.”
