THE number of people killed on Oxfordshire's roads last year was exactly the same as in 2014.

New figures released by the Department for Transport yesterday showed 26 people died in the county.

A further 329 were seriously injured and 1,951 were slightly injured.

Across Great Britain 1,732 people died on the roads in 2015, down from 1,775 the year before and the second lowest annual total on record.

The Department said in the past decade fatalities had dropped by 45 per cent.
