THE driver of a car that crashed on the A413 between Chalfont St. Giles and Amersham last week, leaving two people dead, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

The man, who is 29, remains in hospital after the accident, but is in a stable condition.

Laura Smith, 20, of Sixty Acres Road, Prestwood, and Stephen Smith, 24, of The Common, Holmer Green died when the silver Rover they were travelling in left the A413 London Road near Chalfont St Giles at about 2.22am last Friday.

Another man, aged 21, remains in hospital in a stable condition whilst a fourth man, aged 24, was discharged from hospital earlier this week.

Last night Police were at Winkers nightclub, Denham Lane, Chalfont St. Peter, handing out leaflets and speaking to people who may have been there the previous week.

They were also stopping traffic in the early hours of this morning along the A413, and handing out flyers.

We have a team of officers working on this investigation to establish the chain of events leading up to the collision and the causes of the collision itself.

“The aim of these checks was to make people aware of our investigation and to find out if anyone has any information that might be able to assist us. We know that the people in the car had been at Winkers nightclub prior to the collision."
