Collision on Victoria Road

At around 7:10pm on Tuesday, 10 March 2026, a white Vauxhall van carrying ladders smashed into a man stopped on his bike on Victoria Road. The cyclist, a man in his forties, suffered a serious head injury and needed hospital treatment. Thankfully, he has since been discharged.

Two Slough Men Arrested but Released on Bail

Both men have been released on conditional bail until 4 June 2026.
