Death at roundabout
A man in his sixties was driving northbound into Bicester on the A41 from junction 9 of the M40 when he crashed into Vendee Drive roundabout and died at the scene.
County councillor Ian Corkin called for traffic lights to be installed at the roundabout and for an immediate safety audit of that stretch of the A41.
