A police dog is currently searching fields after the driver of a van involved in a crash on a flooded road fled the scene.
Emergency services were called to Wanborough Road, in Wanborough, at around 7pm following reports of a road traffic collision involving a Mini Cooper and a white van.
The male driver of the van was witnessed running from the scene and into nearby fields moments afterwards. A police dog unit was deployed to conduct a search of the local area.
