On Sunday 28th September 2003 Rachel and Richie Turk were travelling along the A4130 (on Gangsdown Hill near Huntercombe) between Henley-on-Thames and Wallingford with Rachel?s children.

Rachel, Richie and one of the children were killed after a head-on collision with a Subaru Imprezza. A red mini, with either a white roof or wide white stripes, overtook the family?s car at a place where overtaking is prohibited. The Subaru took avoiding action which led to the head-on collision. Police are now looking for the red mini.
