The woman killed in a collision between a van and a HGV lorry on the A420 this morning was a 25-year-old from Oxford, police have confirmed.

An ambulance spokesman said that the woman, who was driving a small Citroen van, died at the scene from her injuries.

The DAF truck driver was checked by paramedics at the roadside and didn’t need treatment.

The A420 is currently closed in both directions between the Buckland Road junction and the B4508 following the crash shortly before 9am at Pusey Woods.

Approximate location of the crash

It is expected to reopen shortly after metal sheeting, which spilled from the lorry, has been cleared.

Anyone with information should call Sgt Christopher Jones on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
