Oxford Ring Road Closed Following Fish and Chip Van Fire

A prominent road in Oxford experienced a closure subsequent to a fish and chip van catching fire. The vehicle became fully engulfed in flames on the Oxford ring road around 13:00 GMT on Friday. Due to the presence of gas cylinders within the van, the dual carriageway was shut in both directions as fire crews worked to extinguish the conflagration. According to the Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, personnel successfully drew water from the river situated beneath the road to suppress the fire. The van, along with everything inside it, was consumed by the flames.
