Welcome to South Today. for the news where you are.

Coming up: The fatal crash on the A34 caused by a lorry driver

:00:00.:00:00.

Police are praised for the way they dealt with the aftermath.

:00:00.:00:10.

Also: Claiming it's putting the right care in the right places -

:00:11.:00:13.

the group planning controversial changes to care in Oxfordshire.

:00:14.:00:15.

And, how the rebirth of Aston Martin marks the rebirth

:00:16.:00:17.

Officers from Thames Valley Police who dealt with the aftermath

:00:18.:00:35.

of a crash in which four people died on the A34 have been

:00:36.:00:38.

given commendations by the Chief Constable.

:00:39.:00:40.

The crash happened in August on the Oxfordshire/Berkshire border.

:00:41.:00:42.

It was caused by a lorry driver who was using his mobile phone.

:00:43.:00:45.

With permission from the victims families come of this footage was

:00:46.:00:57.

released three months ago. Scrolling through his music playlist

:00:58.:00:59.

which, seconds later, This was the moment Tomas Kroker,

:01:00.:01:01.

distracted by his mobile phone, caused the multi-car pile-up

:01:02.:01:07.

on the A34 in August 2016. Tracy Houghton died instantly,

:01:08.:01:11.

along with her sons, 13-year-old Ethan and

:01:12.:01:14.

11-year-old Joshua. Her partner's daughter, 11-year-old

:01:15.:01:18.

Aimee Goldsmith, was also killed. The family were integral

:01:19.:01:24.

to the video, because we couldn't have made it without them,

:01:25.:01:28.

but also they were integral to the fact it was made

:01:29.:01:31.

in the first place. It was their idea and they wanted

:01:32.:01:36.

to make a positive change. Something so horrific had

:01:37.:01:39.

happened and they saw it as an opportunity to make a change

:01:40.:01:41.

and save people's lives. A police Sergeant,

:01:42.:01:44.

Detective Sergeant, three police officers and two communications

:01:45.:01:46.

officers have all been commended for their work

:01:47.:01:51.

in response to the crash. This afternoon's ceremony

:01:52.:01:56.

was led by the Chief Constable He honoured some members of his team

:01:57.:01:59.

for what he called outstanding work, I think the fact that three children

:02:00.:02:05.

were involved in this crash made it stand out

:02:06.:02:13.

for all the wrong reasons. The officers were very

:02:14.:02:15.

proud to be recognised, but ultimately they think

:02:16.:02:18.

they were just doing their job. The lorry driver, Tomas Kroker,

:02:19.:02:22.

is now serving a 10-year jail sentence for causing death

:02:23.:02:25.

by dangerous driving. Police hope that this dash cam

:02:26.:02:29.

footage will continue to be of using a mobile phone

:02:30.:02:31.

while behind the wheel. Police in Aylesbury have

million from NHS services in Oxfordshire will lead to the care

in the right places, according to the decision makers

:02:58.:02:59.

behind the proposals. They say they'll lead to a more

:03:00.:03:04.

sustainable health service. Among the criticisms

:03:05.:03:07.

is that the plans are too confusing. The NHS is struggling

:03:08.:03:13.

to cope with growing demand In Oxfordshire, managers say

:03:14.:03:18.

they need to save ?200m The first phase of this consultation

:03:35.:03:41.

or in the community - nearly 150 hospital beds have

:03:42.:03:43.

already been closed in the county. A lot of the proposals

:03:44.:03:48.

are about trying to increase the speed of getting access

:03:49.:03:51.

to diagnostics, to be able to do more day assessment and put more

:03:52.:03:54.

care in place for people to be able to be managed at home,

:03:55.:03:58.

either before or after hospital. Over in Banbury, despite protests,

:03:59.:04:03.

some changes have already been made, such as the controversial downgrade

says it is investing in the Horton, with plans for more tests,

scans and outpatient clinics, allowing people to be diagnosed

and treated closer to home. I am really worried

:04:57.:05:03.

about the consultation. I think there are problems with it

:05:04.:05:06.

and I think it is difficult for people to understand

:05:07.:05:09.

at the moment. For example, it is not

:05:10.:05:11.

clear to us whether, if we accept and are positive

:05:12.:05:14.

about getting, for example, dialysis and chemotherapy at the Horton,

:05:15.:05:16.

whether in phase two of the consultation,

:05:38.:05:39.

clearly there's still a lot more Some fear it's too complex and may

put people off engaging with the consultation

are ahead of us. Silverstone Park provides space

confidence moving forward. When people talk about things

like Brexit and uncertainty, actually I think uncertainty

to refurbish old Aston Martins. Now, once more, they're

going to make new ones here. And this is what they're

going to build. The Aston Martin DB4, one

:08:43.:08:45.

of the first ever cars built here. They're going to build 25 of them,

:08:46.:08:48.

each one costing ?1.5 million. It's an awesome thing -

to bring vehicle production back here, ten years after the last

Vanquish left production, I know, when we closed

overnight night there will be a frost, and for others a fair amount

of cloud. It really is a Northwest south-east divide. The further south

and east you are, the colder the temperatures. Some light rain and

drizzle during the early hours of the morning, and temperatures will

whether this weather watcher is a football fan, it's a fan of weather
