Two people have died after their car left the road in South Oxfordshire.

A woman in her 20s and a man believed to be in his 40s both died at the scene after their car crashed in Benson.

A member of the public called police at noon yesterday to report a green Citroen ZX had crashed in a field off Watlington Road.

Sgt Mark Hammond said: “At this stage we do not know exactly what time this car left the road.

“We do not believe that any other vehicle was involved in the incident.”

Police this afternoon issued an appeal for witnesses. Anyone with information should call 08458 505505 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
