A40 closed after collision; motorists advised to divert

Police have closed a significant road in Oxford and a park and ride service subsequent to a collision involving two vehicles. Thames Valley Police confirmed the closure of the A40 road, specifically the Oxford-bound section, and the Thornhill Park and Ride following the incident. These closures are expected to persist as authorities conduct an investigation into the accident, which occurred earlier at the intersection with the park and ride. Significant traffic congestion is reported in both directions, and drivers have received guidance to “avoid the area at this time”.
