An 81-year-old Bicester man who crashed his car into a bridge on Thursday died of natural causes, a spokesman for the Oxfordshire Coroner said.

The man was driving his Vauxhall Astra in Lords Lane, Bicester, towards the Bucknell Road roundabout at about 1.15am, when he lost control and hit a railway bridge.

He was taken to Banbury’s Horton General Hospital but later died.
