East Hanney fatal crash tributes for woman named Jean
The fatal crash, which involved a red Mini Cooper and a white Peugeot 208, occurred between East Hanney and Frilford on the A338 at around 11.15am. The woman has been named locally as Jean, although this has not been confirmed by Thames Valley Police at this stage[1]. One tribute, which came from Tasha Simmonds, said: "Rest in peace auntie Jean, our hearts are broken.
Sleep tight." Another, from Maria Webb, said: "Rest in peace, Jeanie." Many of those commenting were offering their condolences to Ms Simmonds, with messages including "thoughts, love and hugs to you all" and "I am so sorry for your loss".
The other driver involved in the crash, a man in his 30s, suffered life-changing injuries and remains in hospital, Thames Valley Police said. A man in his 50s, who was a passenger in the Mini, suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital but has since been discharged. Others who were present at the scene of the crash have commented on what they saw.
