A motorist has been taken to hospital tonight after his car crashed off the road and flipped on to its roof.

The southbound sliproad from the A40 to the A415 Ducklington Lane in Witney is closed.

A police spokesman said the orange Fiat Punto had crashed off the road and flipped over, ending up amongst some trees just before 6pm.

The driver, who was the only person in the Punto, was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital.

He added: “It is not believed that he has suffered life-threatening injuries but he has gone to the JR.

“It does not look like a serious accident.”

The spokesman was unsure how long the southbound sliproad would be closed.
