A police officer who was left seriously injured in a crash while on duty has been named by Thames Valley Police.
Pc Christopher Miller, who works on the force’s Roads Policing Unit, was injured after he was involved in a crash with a white BMW on the B416 Bells Hill, in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, last Thursday evening.
He remains in hospital where he is in a critical condition, Thames Valley Police has said.
His family and his colleagues are being supported by family liaison officers.
The driver of the BMW did not stop at the scene.
Four people have now been arrested in connection with the crash, which took place at around 10.20pm.
Two men, aged 28 and 38, both from Slough, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and causing serious injury by dangerous driving and remain in custody.
A third man, aged 43, also from Slough, has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice.
He’s since been released on bail.
A fourth person, a 37-year-old woman, from Slough, has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice.
Detective Superintendent Will Crowther said he was keen to hear from any witnesses who were in the area of Stoke Poges between 10pm on Thursday evening until around 1am on Friday morning.
‘I believe the BMW will have had front-end damage after the incident, and so if you saw the vehicle, either before the incident or afterwards, please contact us,’ he said.
‘I am also keen to hear from anyone who may have dash-cam, CCTV or doorbell footage which could have captured anything that could help our investigation.’
Deputy Chief Constable Ben Snuggs added: ‘Police officers face danger every day. In this incident, PC Christopher Miller was simply doing his job, serving the public and keeping our communities safe.
‘Sadly, Christopher has sustained extremely serious injuries, and we are doing all we can to investigate the exact circumstances.
‘All officers should expect to return home safely after each tour of duty, and we wish Christopher a swift and full recovery.
‘We have all been affected by this, right across Thames Valley Police. I want to thank our local communities in Slough for all their support and the wider public for the supportive messages we have received.’
