POLICE officers had to pull a lorry through the ice at Oxford services.
The blue HGV was rescued by roads policing officers on the M40 earlier today after 'struggling' with the ice.
Using a green tow strap, the officers slowly drove the lorry to safety - allowing the queues of lorries behind to getaway.
It comes after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for ice across Oxfordshire, which will stay in force until 10am tomorrow.
