A WOMAN was injured in a car crash on the M40, moments after a road rage incident, police have said.

The victim, who is in her 20s, was driving a silver Vauxhall Astra near J7 of the northbound carriageway at about 10.20pm on Friday when her car was involved in a collision with a blue Nissan Micra and left the carriageway.

She was taken to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital and discharged the day after.

Police spokeswoman Hannah Williams said a motorist had been behaving aggressively and flashing their headlights before the crash.
