Hospital car park closed after fatal collision

Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a fatal collision in Reading yesterday (March 13th).

A grey Mitsubishi Outlander hit a pedestrian in the multi-storey car park at Royal Berkshire Hospital in London Road at around 4.45pm.

The pedestrian, a 58-year-old man, sadly died at the scene. The victim’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.

The car park was shut as part of the investigation but has since reopened. The hospital remained open throughout.

Senior investigating officer Detective Sergeant Tony Jenkins, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Tragically, a man has died following this collision and our thoughts are with his loved ones. I would ask for anyone who saw the collision to contact us.

“I would also ask any drivers with a dash-camera who were driving in the car park at the time to check their recordings and let us know if they have captured anything that could help our investigation. You can get in touch by calling 101 or via our website, quoting reference number 43240118275.”
