Two more arrests have been made in connection with a fatal crash in Bracknell.

Thames Valley Police were called out on the 24th of February to Bay Road, near to the junction with Deepfield Road in Bracknell, where a pedestrian had been involved in a serious collision with a black-coloured Ford.

The driver of the Ford did not stop at the scene and a car, which matched the description of the one involved in the collision ,was located a short time later, having crashed into a bollard on Opladen Way, near the junction of Leaves Green.

The driver had fled from the vehicle, thought to be on foot.

The victim, Tania Goswell, was taken to hospital and sadly died the following day.

Officers have since arrested a 52-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman, both from Bracknell, on suspicion of assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice. Both were released under investigation.

Last month police arrested a 32-year-old man from Bracknell on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, driving with no insurance, and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

A 30 year old woman was also taken into custody last month on suspicion of perverting the course of justice, assisting an offender, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

Both were released under investigation.

Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Lyndsey Blackaby, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “My thoughts and the thoughts of all of us at Thames Valley Police remain with the family of Tania at this extremely upsetting and difficult time.

“I am pleased that we have made two more arrests but we are still appealing for witnesses of this collision to come forward.
