A driver narrowly escaped serious injuries this morning after crashing into a road sign in Enstone.
The accident happened at about 9am at the junction of Charlbury Road and the A44. Part of the sign embedded itself in the windscreen of the car, inches from the driver's head.
Rebecca Webber, a spokesman for Thames Valley Police, said: “This was a damage-only accident involving a red Rover 200, which hit a road sign.”
Paramedics from South Central Ambulance attended the incident as a precaution, but no-one needed hospital treatment.
