PART of the A34 in Oxford was blocked following a crash between a car and lorry.

The vehicles collided on the southbound carriageway at the Peartree Interchange this afternoon, blocking one lane.

Highways England said a southbound exit slip lane had been closed, shortly before midday, but it has since reopened.

Tailbacks were stretching back past Oxford Parkway at the height of the disruption.
