People found in lorry at Moto Reading M4 westbound services

Seven adults and two children have been found in a lorry at the Moto Reading M4 westbound services.

The services lorry park was closed on Wednesday evening (November 8) and was not reopened until 12pm the next day (Thursday).

At that time Thames Valley Police had said there was no risk to the public but asked people to avoid the area while officers dealt with the incident with other emergency service partners.

The people found in the lorry have all been safeguarded.

Two of the adults needed hospital treatment.

They have since been discharged.

TVP said: “Our thanks go to all those involved and to those affected by the closure for their cooperation.”
