Police are appealing for information to help find Akashdeep Singh following a fatal collision on the M40 last night.

Warwickshire Police would like to talk to the 23-year-old as the force believes he may have information about a collision that took place on the motorway shortly before 7.15pm on Saturday evening (28 September).

Officers and emergency services were called to the northbound carriageway between junction 11 (Banbury) and junction 12 (Gaydon) after several reports of a multiple vehicle collision.

The collision involved five cars and a Peugeot boxer van, however the Peugeot driver is believed to have left the area on foot.

A passenger in one of the cars – a woman in her 50s – died at the scene.

Her next of kin has been informed and specially trained officers are supporting the family at this time.

Investigations into the collision are continuing with officers keen to locate Mr Singh, who also goes by the name of Akash and has connections to the West Midlands - particularly the Oldbury area.

A force statement said: "If members of the public have information to help us find him or can share details about the collision, please get in touch.

"We'd also ask anyone who has dashcam footage of the collision, the Peugeot and the manner it was being driven prior to the collision to share it with us.

"If you can assist us, please contact us quoting incident number 303 of 28 September."
