A driver is thought to have suffered serious injuries after being thrown from his car in an accident near Wallingford last night.

The emergency services were alerted shortly after 8.15pm after the crash on the A4130 at Crowmarsh Hill, close to the A4074 Port Way junction, near Wallingford.

It is understood that the driver was thrown into a telegraph pole, but a spokesman for South Central Ambulance Service was unable to provide information about his condition.

He is believed to have suffered serious injuries to his chest and arms and was taken to hospital.

The road has been re-opened following the accident.
