A road was blocked to traffic after a motorcyclist crashed near the Golden Balls Roundabout near Nuneham Courtenay yesterday.

The man, thought to be in his 20s, was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital following the incident between the A4074 and Abingdon Road at 1.10pm.

South Central Ambulance Service spokesman Gill Hodgetts said the extent of the man’s injuries were not known.

The road was reopened later yesterday afternoon.
