FALLEN trees caused chaos on roads across the county yesterday afternoon after toppling over during driving wind and rain.

Both lanes of the A420 Buckland Road junction, near Buckland, were gridlocked, while the A361 junction with the B4026 at Chipping Norton was snarled up with heavy traffic during rush hour.

The A4095 Heyford Road at Kirtlington, the B4425 at Burford and the B4035 at Broughton were also blocked for a time, as a storm front passed through Oxfordshire.
