All lanes on A4 re-opened

BOTH lanes on the A4 Bath Road have now re-opened following a serious collision this afternoon.

Both lanes were initially closed after a black Vauxhall Agila collided with a silver Peugeot 308 between the A340 Basingstoke Road, at the Aldermaston Wharf roundabout, and the A340 Wigmore Lane, Theale roundabout today (Sat).

The westbound lane later re-opened.

The driver of the Vauxhall, a 68-year-old man was been airlifted hospital with serious injuries.

Thames Valley Police is appealing to witnesses of the incident.
