Police plea after woman killed

POLICE today appealed for witnesses after a two-car crash near Bullingdon Prison in which a woman died.

The crash happened on the B4011 when a red Volkswagen Polo was involved in a collision with a maroon BMW estate.

A woman was declared dead at the scene.

The incident happened at 8.15am and the road was closed while the vehicles are recovered and a police investigation took place.

Anyone with information should contact PC Andrew Sharman, of Bicester Roads Policing, on 0845 8 505 505 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The crash came after two drivers died following smashes over the weekend.

In the first incident on Saturday, a 21-year-old car driver died after a collision at about 8.30am on the A415, close to Cokethorpe School at Ducklington.

He was named today as James Franklin, of Monmouth Road, Oxford. An inquest into his death was opened and adjourned today.

It was the fifth death on the stretch of road in less than three years.

In the second crash, at about 12.30am on Sunday, a 50-year-old man suffered multiple injuries when his van veered off the A338 near Letcombe Regis. He died later in hospital.
