A 55-year-old woman was in a collision with a car this evening in Abingdon.

The incident happened in Northcourt Road at about 5.10pm, near Abingdon College.

A spokeswoman for South Central Ambulance Service said the woman’s condition was not known, but that when paramedics reached the scene she was breathing and conscious.

She was rushed to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, the spokeswoman added.

Residents on Twitter reported police had diverted traffic on the road, which was said to be closed in both directions.

Stagecoach Oxfordshire also cancelled one of its buses from the college.
