A man was last night in a critical condition in hospital after a roof collapsed at a house in Yarnton.

The incident happened at around 1.55pm today at a private property off Rutten Lane. Police, fire and ambulance crews attended and the man was taken to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital.

The house was undergoing renovation and the injured man is believed to be a builder who was working on it.

Police have launched an investigation into what happened.
