A WOMAN suffered serious injuries after she was thrown from her car during a crash in Popley.
Police have released details of the crash that took place on the A33 Reading Road at 3.25am on the morning of Saturday, February 9.
It involved an orange Daewoo Matiz, which was travelling towards Basingstoke town centre, and a silver Ford Mondeo taxi, which had just turned onto the A33 from Popley Way.
