Woman, 73, Hurt in Slough Bike Crash; Police Seek Rider
The impact left her on the ground, and she doesn’t remember what happened. Doctors say she needs surgery to fix a head wound and repair a damaged nerve. The crash took place on February 18, shortly after 2:35 PM. Police are investigating the incident, but the bike rider has not been found yet.
The woman wants to stay anonymous and also has bruises on her arms. She had surgery on February 27. Her daughter, Gagan Purewal, spoke about the event, saying it impacted her family. Her father is also recovering from recent hip surgery.
Gagan said the situation feels distressing. She lives in Reading now and travels back and forth after work. Her parents feel upset and helpless because they were active before this happened, walking often, three or four times a day. They are upset they must rely on others.
Gagan, age 35, received a call from her father while driving home, who told her about the incident. She went to her parents’ house, and then to the hospital.
Gagan spoke to the police and neighbors, trying to learn what happened. She saw her father at the house, and then she went to see her mother. Her mother had a deep head wound, and a nerve above her left eyelid is hurt, leaving her unable to move that part of her face.
Police ask anyone with information to contact them, describing the incident as a crash involving a motorcycle and a pedestrian. The crash happened on February 18 at 2:35 PM on Pitts Road in Slough. The woman, in her seventies, had a head injury, and the motorcycle rider left the scene afterward.
