TWO drivers and a motorcyclist killed in a series of accidents over the space of just two days have been identified.

Robert Murrell, 33, from Southmoor, near Abingdon, was killed on Sunday while he was riding his motorcycle along the A420 in south Oxfordshire. He had collided with a blue Peugeot 106 which was turning on to the dual carriageway from the Oaksmere road leading from Appleton.

The driver and passenger from the Peugeot were taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.

A 23-year-old woman has been named as the driver killed when her car left the road near Nuffield on Monday morning. Anne-Marie Moore, of Digbury Lane, Nettlebed, was travelling from the direction of Nuffield towards the A4130 when her Ford Ka hit a tree near the turn off for the Huntercombe Golf Club. No other cars are thought to have been involved.

Later the same day, a van driver was killed when his vehicle collided with another van on the A418 near Thame. Anthony Turner, 52, from Bedfordshire, was driving towards Thame when he was involved in a head-on collision.
