A drivers had a lucky escape following a collision with a tractor towing hay bales near Eynsham.

The crash happened on the A40 at about 10pm.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue service said that the tractor and trailer blocked the road both ways and the other vehicle left the road and stopped on the adjacent Old Witney Road.

Oxfordshire County Council Fire and Rescue Service group manager Paul Bremble said: "The driver of the private vehicle was very lucky to not have received more serious injuries from the collision.

"Having collided with the tractor he left the carriageway, missing the trees, before he came to a stop on the Old Witney Road.

"Oxfordshire County Council Fire and Rescue Service would like to remind all drivers that during the harvest time there are a larger number of tractors and slow-moving vehicles on our roads than normal and to take care and be mindful of the added dangers at this time of year."

Both drivers were treated for minor injuries, according to the fire service.
