‘The collision happened near the Sunbury Cross roundabout at around 1.10pm and involved a red Mazda, a black Mercedes and a gray Kia.

It comes after Max’s ex-girlfriend Shona McGarty recently opened up about her split from Max at the British Soap Awards.
The couple split after his ex Roisin Buckle gave birth to his first child, a boy, in September last year.
The BBC soap star said the former couple called it quits after six months of dating, but confirmed they are still friends.
She said The mirror: ‘It’s wonderful to be here tonight because Max’s mother is here and I haven’t seen her for a while, I love her.
‘So it’s wonderful to meet her. We’re actually better than ever. It’s a friendship, we’re in such a good place.

“You take a risk, and you do something and it doesn’t work, but that’s life, you have to take that risk.”
Max and Shona’s romance first came to light in May 2022 after sources claimed the pair were ‘inseparable’ following his split from girlfriend Roisin, and they made their relationship official on Instagram in August.
However, Shona has already moved on as she confirmed that she is currently ‘speaking to someone’, but she didn’t reveal any details as ‘it’s still very early’.
