A motorcyclist was injured in a multi-vehicle pile up on Oxford's eastern bypass that caused long delays for motorists today.

A lorry, two cars and a motorbike collided on the A4142 between junctions with Horspath Road and Horspath Driftway at 3.05pm.

The motorcyclist was taken to hospital with injuries to his leg and back that were described as minor.

The crash caused mile-long tail backs as police closed one lane to remove the vehicles.

No one was arrested.
