A 60-year-old man is seriously ill after a crash near Burford.
Police said the man was cycling along the B4020 Shilton Road, from Burford towards Carterton at about 6.20pm yesterday when the accident happened.

"I am particularly keen to speak to the drivers of the two cars that passed the cyclist at that junction as they may be able to assist our inquiries."
