A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a woman was badly injured when her car was stolen.

Caroline Johnson, 46, was scraping ice from the vehicle in Langley in Slough, Berkshire, when a man got into it. As he drove off, she was run over.

Mrs Johnson, who was dragged up to 20m (65ft) under the vehicle in Humber Way, is said to be in a critical condition.

Police said a man was arrested in Cippenham in Slough over the incident, which happened on 2 December.

The mother-of-four's injuries include smashed hips and a four-inch hole in one of her legs.

Her pelvis and lungs were also crushed and at one point her heart stopped beating.
