One person was taken to hospital and five others hurt in a crash yesterday on the A34, which sparked long delays.

Several cars and a lorry were involved in the northbound crash between the B4027 Islip turn-off near Kidlington and Junction 9 with the M40 at Bicester shortly after 3pm.

The carriageway was closed until early evening, causing tailbacks along the A34 as far as Pear Tree Interchange. An air ambulance was called but not needed.
