A CRASH between a van and motorcycle is causing delays on the A34 northbound.

One lane was closed from about 5pm between B430 Weston On The Green to Junction 9 of the M40 for Bicester but has now reopened.

Delays of 30 minutes were being reported with traffic backed up to Peartree Interchange but this has now begun to ease.

It comes after a crash on the A34 southbound near the M40 Junction 9 this morning which brought traffic to a standstill, with two lanes closed until 9am.
