Oxford schoolboy released from hospital after serious crash

The 17-year-old had been cycling on Banbury Road in Summertown just before 8.30am on Monday, November 4.

He was involved in a collision with a motorcycle between the junctions of Beechcroft Road and Oakthorpe Road and the biker allegedly left the scene.

The boy was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries where he remained for over a week in a serious condition but police have now revealed that he has been released.

Commenting on Thursday afternoon (November 14), a spokesman for Thames Valley Police (TVP) said: “We are pleased to report that the teenager is recovering really well and has been discharged from hospital.”

The force is continuing to look for Nazim Kacem as it is believed he may have vital information relating to the incident.

Officers say the 29-year-old is from Oxford but is also known to frequent Bristol and Crouch Hill in London.

“The man we put out the appeal for is still being sought, and so that appeal remains active,” added the TVP spokesperson.

“We would urge him to contact us as soon as possible.”
