A MAN has been arrested in connection with a fatal crash on the M4 which killed a leading health executive.
The collision, just before 7pm on April 20, involved three vehicles between junctions 17 and 18 at Nettleton.
A Citroen van and a Renault car transporter travelling eastbound collided with each other, then both crossed the central reservation and collided with a Chrysler, travelling west.
The driver of the Chrysler, 55-year-old Richard Scaife, of Ombersely, Worcestershire, who was chief executive of the Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Strategic Health Authority was pronounced dead at the scene.
Tributes for Mr Scaife poured in at the time, including one from Colin Norman, a manager at Swindon's Great Western Hospital, who knew the father-of-four and was caught up in the tailback on the motorway following the accident.
Police have now confirmed they arrested a 25-year-old man from Ashford in Middlesex on Friday June 18 on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
He has been interviewed and released on bail pending further inquiries.
