Police appeal after fatal collision on road near Milton Keynes

Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal road traffic collision near Stoke Hammond on the outskirts of Milton Keynes.

Just before 7.30am this morning (22/3), a single‑vehicle collision occurred on the A4146 southbound carriageway between Newton Leys and the Stoke Road roundabout, involving a black Mercedes E320.

The car collided with the roundabout and sadly the driver and sole occupant, a man aged in his forties, died at the scene.

The man’s next of kin have been notified and are being offered support by specially trained officers.

PC James Holmes, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, said, “Firstly, our thoughts are with the family and friends of the driver at this extremely difficult time.

“We are appealing for anyone with information or witnesses who may have been at the scene and have not yet spoken to the police, to please get in touch.

“I also ask any drivers who were in the area at the time and have dashcam footage to review it, as it may contain important information about the collision or the moments leading up to it.

“The A4146 will be closed for some time today while we carry out investigation work. We ask motorists to use alternative routes and thank them for their patience.”

Digital evidence can be uploaded directly to the dedicated portal on the Thames Valley Police website for this investigation.
