ONE lane of the Oxford ring road remains closed at Wolvercote after a crash this morning.

It has been reported there was a collision between a car and a skip lorry which also hit a fallen tree and a lamp post.

This is pushing traffic along the A40 eastbound.

Jack Abell, a spokesman for Thames Valley Police, said: "Thames Valley Police officers were called today at 6.53am following reports of a collision involving a lorry and a car in Sunderland Avenue, Oxford.

"Officers attended the scene along with the ambulance service.

"The fire service is also in attendance and are working to clear a tree which was involved in the collision.

"One lane is closed while emergency services are at the scene, and drivers are advised to avoid the area if possible."
