A man in his 60s has been airlifted to hospital following a tractor accident in West Oxfordshire.

Shortly before 11am, emergency services were called to the incident on the Great Tew Estate near Chipping Norton.

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said the small tractor was cutting grass when it rolled down a bank at the estate off New Road.

The driver of the tractor was airlifted to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford with life-threatening injuries.

The police and Health and Safety Executive are carrying out a full investigation at the site.
