A man has been arrested after a crash in the Buckinghamshire town of Marlow left a 12-year-old boy with serious life-changing injuries.

Thames Valley Police have launched an investigation after emergency services were called at around 7.50pm last night (Saturday 15th August 2026) to Station Road, where a grey Mercedes AMG had collided with the boy.
