Staines crash leaves two people fighting for lives in hospital as motorbike involved in A30 accident

Two people are fighting for their lives in hospital after a "serious" crash on a busy road just outside London this morning. The A308 Staines Bypass was shut in both directions following the incident that police say involved two individuals riding a motorcycle.

Surrey Police are now appealing for witnesses after being called to the area shortly before 2am. Officers reported at 9.04am that the route was closed between the Crooked Billet roundabout and the Fordbridge roundabout in both directions. The force added that it was likely to remain shut for the next few hours however at around 11.30am the road reopened.

A spokesperson added: "Two people have been taken to hospital for treatment to life-threatening injuries and remain in a stable condition. We are appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision, or with any information, including dashcam and helmet cam footage, to contact us straight away."

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
