A motorcyclist was killed following a collision with a van.
David Yeomans, 27, of Fair Close, Bicester, was declared dead at the scene.
The collision with the Volkswagen van happened at 10.35am on Sunday on the A361 between Banbury and Daventry, about 300m south of Banbury Lane in Byfield.
Mr Yeomans was riding a Yamaha Thundercat motorbike at the time of the accident. A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: "Despite the efforts of two doctors and two nurses, who arrived shortly after the collision, the motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene."
Police are appealing for witnesses to contact them, especially the occupants of a fairly new Volvo car which was seen travelling behind a tractor and trailer at the time of the accident.
