UPDATE: Man dies in bypass crash

11:00am Saturday 26th July 2008

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.
