A man has died after his silver BMW was involved in a collision with a roundabout and a lorry this morning.

The man, in his 20s, died at the scene of the crash at the Littlemore roundabout on Oxford's Eastern Bypass just after 2am.

Two men also in the car, which was travelling from the Cowley direction, were taken to hospital with broken bones but their injures were not life threatening.

The driver of the lorry was thought not to have been injured.

The A4142 was closed in both directions for more than eight hours for collision investigators to examine the scene and so the emergency services could recover the vehicles.

It was reopened at 10.24am.

Anyone with information should call Pc Andy Wickens at Abingdon Roads Policing Department on 08458 505505.

What a shame for those involved. The traffic was frustrating this morning but I feel quite bad now cursing the closure. Hope those injured recover well.

I heard the crash last night as i live very close and went out to help. I got there as the first police car got there, my concern was for whoever was in the car but my worry was that it might be my son as he was out and has only passed his test a few months ago. It was a releif that it wasn't my son but still as a mother i felt the horror their mothers would feel. The police and services got there very quickly and dealt with it professionally and respectfully. My sympathy goes out to all the families involved and i am sorry for your loss. I hope the other two recover from their injuries. It has been a very sad day.

What a sad day, may god give Rishi's family the strength & courage to get through this terrible ordeal. As for the other 2 involved, one guy is ok & out of danger while the other is still in hospital. Please pray for Rishi's family and those that were involved in this horrific accident.
What a terrible loss, only 21 years old.

The other two lads were Ishi (Pathan) & a white lad who showed up to flower laying at the Rose Hill roundabout this afternoon. He's ok, just a broken arm. Ishi has more broken bones but is still in hospital. Prayers & good will to him, he'll be ok. It's all tragic. Hope ya mend up soon Ishi & are up & on ya feet soon. Thank God you & other white lad (who we don't know name) are ok. RIP Rishi, we will miss ya mate.

Confused - Rose Hill Roundabout is another name given to the roundabout named on the signs as "Littlemore Roundabout", as it's the one from which Rose Hill is accessed. The next one along is indeed Heyford Hill Roundabout, and it was not this one.

Hope this clears up your confusion.
