A WOMAN was fighting for her life last night after being cut from the wreckage of her car.
The woman was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries yesterday after a crash between three cars.
Emergency crews were called to the collision on the A361 near Chipping Norton shortly before 8am.
The woman was driving a silver Daihatsu, which was involved in a collision near the B4026 with a blue Renault Clio and red Ford Fiesta.
She was cut from the car and airlifted to the John Radcliffe Hospital to be treated for serious head, chest and leg injuries. Police described her condition last night as “critical”.
Two other people were taken to the Horton Hospital in Banbury by ambulance. Their injuries were believed to be minor.
Fireman Malcolm Jones, who attended the incident, said: “The force of the impact had significantly deformed the vehicle and crews worked in unison to release the casualty who was quickly removed and conveyed to hospital.”
The road was closed for five hours while investigations were carried out and debris removed.
