Village turns green to remember mother and three children killed in A40 crash

A one minute silence has been held at a village in Oxfordshire in tribute to a mother and her three children who died in a collision on the A40 near Oxford last week.

Zoe Powell, 29, her daughters Phoebe, 8, and Amelia, 4, and her son Simeon, 6, were killed in the accident involving a lorry on Monday October 12.

Green ribbons have been placed around Chinnor in tribute to the family.



As well as a public vigil outside The Crown pub in the village on Monday night, a private ceremony was held by scouts in Josh's troop.
