One man has been hospitalised following a serious road traffic collision involving three LGVs this morning.

The A34 was closed in both directions between the Marcham and Milton interchanges for much of the day as a result of the crash.

The northbound carriageway fully reopened this afternoon, as well as one lane in the southbound direction, but that will close again from 10pm for resurfacing work before fully reopening.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to the A34 southbound carriageway between Abingdon and the Milton Interchange at 1:05 this morning.

Teams from Rewley Road Fire Station, Didcot Fire Station and Kidlington Fire station attended the crash and helped extricate a man from one of the LGVs using specialist rescue equipment.

He was then taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford with serious injuries.

The fire service is reminding drivers to take breaks when driving late at night or feeling tired.
