Crashes and broken-down vehicles on the A34 brought long delays on roads around Oxford this afternoon.

Travel time on the northbound A34 between the Milton Interchange and junction nine of the M40 was reported as up to an hour.

The queues on the A34 led to long delays on other roads in the area.

Problems began earlier today with a four-vehicle crash on the northbound carriageway near South Hinksey.

Later, problems were caused by a broken-down vehicle near to the Peartree Interchange, another broken-down vehicle just before the M40 and an accident near to Weston-on-the-Green.
