The overturned crane
A crane which toppled into a ditch along Woodeaton Road in Woodeaton was last night still stuck upside-down.
The weight of the 40-tonne crane caused the verge to collapse and the vehicle to topple over at about 6pm on Monday. Bristol-based Kings Lifting Ltd, which owns the crane, was at the scene yesterday for a second day to try to remove the vehicle.
The road was due to be closed on Monday anyway for about five weeks by Oxfordshire County Council for scheduled works. Traffic is being diverted through Bayswater Road.
