AN 80-year-old driver collapsed behind the wheel of his car from a suspected heart attack as he drove in The Moors opposite Helwys Place in Kidlington.

He was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, where he later died.

The local man had been driving a red Ford Escort at about 10.40am last Thursday when the car collided with a garden wall while travelling slowly.

No inquest into his death has yet been opened.

Police are appealing to anyone who saw the incident to contact PC Neil Budd on 101.
