A three-car crash today blocked the A34 in south Oxfordshire.

The crash happened at about 7.50am on the northbound carriageway between West Ilsley and the Chilton Interchange.

All traffic was stopped to allow emergency services to attend the accident.

A spokesman for South Central Ambulance said: β€œAt first we thought this accident was more serious, but the three drivers only needed treatment for minor injuries, and did not need hospital treatment.”

The accident led to delays on the southbound carriageway as drivers slowed down to look at the crash scene.

Delays were also reported on roads around Chilton.
