Police are appealing for witnesses to a single-vehicle road traffic collision on the A421 in Buckinghamshire.

At around 4am on Sunday 16 November, a grey Mercedes CLA 250 was involved in a collision on the A421 roundabout with Nash Road, located between Milton Keynes and Buckingham.

Thames Valley Police confirmed that a 25-year-old man from Witney was arrested on suspicion of driving whilst over the prescribed limit for alcohol. He has been released under investigation.

Investigating officer PC William White said, “I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this collision or the moments leading up to it.

Northampton Town were beaten 3-1 at home by a Cardiff City side that moved to the top of the League One table.

Joel Colwill had put the Welshmen in front at Sixfields in the opening minutes, before an eventful sequence saw Ethan Wheatley equalise for the Cobblers and then score an own goal just three minutes later.

Chris Willock’s strike in second half injury time secured victories for the Bluebirds, with the Cobblers losing for the third time in four outings. They are now 17th in the League One table and 4 points above the relegation zone.

The contest at Sixfields was a first league meeting between the Cobblers and the side from the Welsh capital in 22 years, as well as Northampton’s first match after an international weekend enforced break last weekend.

Northampton fell behind within the opening seven minutes. Teenage full-back Ronan Kpakio teed up Colwill, who placed a strike beyond the grasp of home goalkeeper Ross Fitzsimons.

Despite falling behind, the hosts were causing Cardiff problems. Tom Eaves saw a strike bounce back off the past, Wheatley had a goal disallowed, Michael Forbes saw a header just creep wide and Nathan Trott in the Bluebirds goal denied Jack Perkins.

The hosts would make the pressure tell just before the hour. Forbes’ pass released Wheatley, who was able to advance, cut inside and drill in a fine strike.

But on the hour mark, the Manchester United loanee’s next contribution would be a more unfortunate one as Wheatley sliced Joel Bagan’s corner into his own net.

Cardiff could’ve made it 3-1 but they had a goal disallowed when Yousef Salech was deemed to have pushing an opponent before finishing.

Trott made saves to deny Wheatley and home sub Elliot List, the latter of whom had been one-on-one, as Cardiff tried to see the job through.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Cardiff would get the job done when Kpakio released Willock, who scored the third for the visitors.

The Cobblers will seek to return to winning ways next time out, when next Saturday they make the long trip south-west to play Plymouth Argyle.

Red Bull took a victory in the Las Vegas Grand Prix through Max Verstappen, in a race that saw his title rivals both disqualified.

Verstappen had crossed the line first to take victory, having taken the lead at the start of the race to win the Saturday night fight in Las Vegas.

Initially, Lando Norris had finished second with Oscar Piastri fourth, in a result that would’ve seen Verstappen sit 42 points behind championship leader Norris with only 58 to play for from the final 2 races and sprint event.

But in a major twist, McLaren saw both Norris and Piastri’s cars disqualified following technical investigations after the race, with both McLaren cars found to have had damage to the under-car skid-blocks that exceeded the FIA limits. The result means that Norris scored 0 points rather than the 18 he would’ve received for his originally achieved second place.

As a result, Verstappen will now enter the final 2 rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi 24 points behind Norris, with 25 available for a win in the two full-length races. The Dutchman is also level on points with Piastri, having been over 100 points behind after Piastri won the Dutch Grand Prix in the first race after the summer break.

Verstappen’s teammate Yuki Tsunoda crossed the line 14th, then was reclassified 12th after the double McLaren disqualification. He is on 28 points and 17th in the standings.

In the Constructor’s Championship, the Milton Keynes-based Red Bull team are on 391 points in third position in the championship. They are 40 points behind second placed Mercedes and 13 clear of fourth place Ferrari.

Verstappen had begun the race second and he would make a move straight away. The Dutchman made a quicker start than pole sitter Norris, with the sequence seeing the McLaren initially retain the lead only to run wide at turn one, allowing Verstappen to take the lead and bring the Mercedes of George Russell with him.

Russell initially applied pressure on Verstappen, but the Red Bull driver duly began to pull away from the Mercedes the longer the stint went on.

Verstappen retained the lead after the pit-stops around halfway into the race, and with Russell struggling with a steering issue, he would lose track position to Norris.

The McLaren was encouraged to try and catch up with Verstappen, but he would ultimately not have the tyre life to do so, allowing Verstappen to take victory in the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Things would then take the further turn when it was announced a few hours after the race that the cars for both Norris and team-mate Piastri had failed technical investigations. The duo were later disqualified by the FIA, changing the balance of the race results and reducing Verstappen’s deficit to Norris in the championship.

As for Tsunoda, the Japanese driver had started from the pits with a new engine, then made an early pit stop during a virtual safety car in the opening stages. But he was unable to make his way up the order, leading to a finish outside the points.

The F1 season continues in its run towards the end of the campaign, with Las Vegas being the first in a triple header to end the 2025 season. The next race is the Qatar Grand Prix, which includes a sprint race, with the main race taking place next weekend.

Luton’s recent unbeaten run came to an abrupt end as they suffered a heavy 5-0 reverse at Barnsley.

The Hatters had been unbeaten in their previous 3 outings without conceding a goal, but Barnsley would jump above the Bedfordshire club in the table as Reyes Cleary, Patrick Kelly, Luca Connell, a Gideon Kodua own goal and Davis Keilor-Dunn gave the hosts a commanding victory.

Defeat in Yorkshire means that Luton now sit 12th in the League One table, with Jack Wilshere’s side 4 points off the play-offs after 16 games.

Luton had won on each of their previous 3 visits to Oakwell, but nearly fell behind within 3 minutes as Vimal Yoganathan hit the crossbar. A busy start would then see Isaiah Jones have a shot saved before Barnsley opened the scoring with 7 minutes on the clock.

Keilor-Dunn’s pass released Cleary, and when through, the Barnsley man managed to chip Josh Keeley to put the ball into the Luton net.

Nahki Wells would round the Barnsley keeper only to be thwarted by last-gasp defending before Yoganathan hit the goal frame again with a shot that this time struck the post.

Ten minutes before half time, Barnsley made it 2-0 as Cleary crossed in for Kelly to tap the ball home from close range.

The Tykes then grabbed their third goal of the first half in the final minute of regular time in the first 45 as Connell swept in a perfectly placed free-kick.

A miserable day for Luton would get worse after the hour mark, with Kodua credited with the final touch as under pressure from Tennai Watson, the West Ham loanee ended up being the unlucky man as the ball ricocheted past Keeley into the back of the Hatters’ net.

Keillor-Dunn wrapped up the rout with a fifth goal with 15 minutes to go as he received Cleary’s pass and duly converted.

Luton have a quick turnaround before they go again and seek to move on from the contest, with the Hatters facing Huddersfield on Tuesday night.
