Overview

• The newly released footage shows a box van veering into a layby on the A34 between the Peartree and Botley interchanges on January 11 last year, striking two parked cars and leaving two people seriously injured.
• Driver Tracey Hosker, 35, admitted two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and received a 22‑month suspended sentence, a four‑year driving ban, an extended re‑test requirement and 10 days of community service.
• Police said the van was being taken to a port for export, and the video shows it traveling faster than surrounding traffic moments before the crash.
• The force reports repeated stops of export‑bound vehicles with serious defects, including severely worn or damaged tyres, faulty brakes and lighting, broken wipers, and overloaded or corroded loads.
• Officers stress that limited exemptions for export do not remove roadworthiness obligations, and they urge the public to report unsafe vehicle movements via 101 or online as inter‑agency enforcement continues.
