Arrest follows death smash
7:22pm Wednesday 27th August 2008
A woman has been arrested following the death of a 74-year-old woman in a road crash.
The 45-year-old was quizzed by police on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and released on bail.
The arrest was made after a green Land Rover towing a horse trailer and a silver Chrysler Neon collided in the A361 Chipping Norton Road, at the junction with the B44337 Charlbury Road, at 2.25pm on Saturday.
The driver of the Chrysler, a 74-year-year old woman, died at the scene.
Her 48-year-old female passenger is fighting for her life at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.
The 45-year-old woman has been bailed pending further investigations until October 15.

As can be imagined, then, I didn’t exactly rush to sample the second Oxford branch when it opened at the beginning of the year at the west end of George Street, where the Opium Den used to be.

Please mind the dragon, I was urged. I was grateful for the warning, even though the slinky green creature, which comes complete with a crimson mouth and the brightest of white teeth, was a bit difficult to miss.
