Earlier this month, Thames Valley Police said the driver was behind the wheel of a blue Audi TT at the time of the crash.
In an appeal for witnesses, PC Sian Carter of the force’s Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit said: “I would like to appeal for anyone that witnessed the collision or saw the car prior to it.
“At this time, we are not aware of any other vehicles being involved.
“I would also ask anyone with a dash-camera who was driving in the area at the time to check their footage and let us know if it has captured anything that might assist our investigation.”
Anyone with information was asked to contact the police by calling 101, citing the reference number 43230206279.
