A driver is believed to have left the scene on foot
A driver is believed to have walked away from the scene of a multi-vehicle collision on the M40 to the north of Banbury, in which a woman lost her life.
The crash left the northbound M40 between Banbury and Gaydon closed for a number of hours on Saturday evening.
On Monday officers arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Five cars and a Peugeot boxer van were involved in the crash, which happened shortly before 7.15pm.
The driver of the Peugeot boxer van is believed to have left the area on foot.
Sadly a passenger in one of the cars – a woman in her 50s – died at the scene. Her next of kin has been informed and specially trained officers are supporting the family.
Investigations into the collision are continuing with officers keen to locate Singh, who also goes by the name of Akash and has connections to the West Midlands – particularly the Oldbury area.
Members of the public who can share details about the collision are asked to get in touch.
Officers are also keen to receive any dashcam footage of the collision, along with footage of the Peugeot and the manner it was being driven prior to the collision.
