A VAN DRIVER has died after crashing his vehicle off the A34 in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Police found the van and its trailer with a mini-digger on board in a ditch off the southbound carriageway, just past the Milton Interchange, at 1.40am.
The man, a 46-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, was taken to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
He was the only person in the van, a police spokesman said.
The southbound A34 was closed for about four hours after the crash.
Police do not believe that any other vehicle was involved in the incident, but have appealed for anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the man driving down the A34 to contact them.
Anyone with any information can call Sgt Jack Hawkins, at Bicester Roads Policing, on 101, or they can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
