Police investigating a fatal road traffic collision in Calcot last week have made another arrest, as inquiries continue.

Another man, aged 41 and also from Reading, was arrested last week on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and has since been released under investigation.
The collision occurred near Lidl’s car park on the A4 Bath Road between 6:20 am and 6:40 am on 26th November. A man in his sixties lost his life.
Sergeant Matt Cadmore, of the Roads Policing Unit, described the investigation as "ongoing and extremely complex" and confirmed the victim’s family is being supported by specially trained liaison officers.
He said, “I am re-appealing for anybody who believes they may have information to come forward. Even the smallest piece of information may prove vital in helping us understand what happened."
He specifically urged drivers travelling along the A4 Bath Road last Wednesday between the M4 and Reading town centre to check dash-cam footage for any unusual or suspicious activity.
