A South Central Ambulance Service spokesman said an elderly woman suffered head and arm injuries and was taken to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital.

Thames Valley Police has refused to give any details about the crash.

There is no safe place for pedestrians to cross the road on this stretch of the Banbury Road. As a local family, we have campaigned the local councilors for a pelican crossing. 2 years a go a bus crashed into the refuge in the middle of the road, knocked down the bus shelter and trapped passengers in the front wall of a neighbour's garden.

Surely this tragic accident time to review the pedestrian safety in North Oxford.
