TWO motorcyclists were taken to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital with minor injuries following a collision yesterday.

South Central Ambulance Service staff were called to the accident by Thames Valley Police at 11.50am on the A34 northbound, close to the B430 Weston-on-the-Green turn-off.

One lane northbound was closed, about a mile before junction nine of the M40, while emergency services were at the scene.

Chris Davis, 68, and partner Lil St George, both from Swindon, were on the same motorcycle when the accident occurred.
