A motorcyclist has been killed at a notorious accident blackspot.

The man was riding towards Nettlebed on the A4130, near Gangsdown Hill, when he crashed at 9.40am on February 7.

Police want to talk to the drivers of an old-style estate car and a box lorry. They have not released the identity of the dead man.

Last September, a head-on crash on the same stretch of road killed six-year-old Jack Powell, his mother Rachel Turk and stepfather Richard, who lived at RAF Benson, near Wallingford.

Jack's eight-year-old sister Emily survived.

The incident was featured in a Crimewatch TV programme. Police are still searching for a red Mini with a white roof, which was involved in the accident.

Two months later, Heather Chapman, 67, of Reading Road, Shiplake, died after her Mercedes saloon crashed head-on with a security truck near Gangsdown Hill.

Landlord of The Crown Inn at Nuffield, Simon Till, launched a campaign for safety measures on the road, following the accidents.

Yesterday Alex Rosi, assistant manager of pub, which is near the blackspot, said: "We want a dual carriageway, a 40mph limit and speed cameras."

Three girls in the back of a Rover Metro were taken to hospital after the car hit a bank and rolled over near Shipton-on-Cherwell, at 3pm on February 7.

The children went to Witney Hospital with minor injuries after the crash, between the village and the A4260.
