Man arrested following the death of a woman in a crash on the M40

A MAN has been arrested after a woman died in a collision on the M40 on Sunday evening (June 21).

Warwickshire Police were called shortly before 11pm to reports of a collision involving three cars on the southbound side of the carriageway between junctions 16 (Henley) and 15 (Warwick).

A passenger in one of the cars – a woman in her 60s – died at the scene. Her next of kin has been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers.

Shortly afterwards, officers arrested a 54 year-old man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He remains in police custody.




Investigating officers would like anyone who witnessed the collision or saw the vehicles, and the way they were being driven to come forward. They’re also keen to speak to anyone who has dashcam footage of the collision.
