THERE are major delays around Oxford again this morning following one of the worst commutes ever for drivers in the county yesterday.

Roadworks brought vehicles to a standstill with some journeys taking three or four times longer than usual.

Traffic is very heavy on the A34 all the way from Kidlington down to Bayworth and the A40 from Witney to Oxford is looking heavily congested. 

And there are reports of a collision at the Botley Interchange with heavy traffic all the way along Botley Road into Oxford.

There are also delays on the A44 Woodstock Road following an accident involving two vehicles, close to the junction with Yarnton Lane.

There is debris on the road which is partly blocked.

It is not yet known if anyone has been hurt.
