THE A43 northbound was closed due to an overturned lorry between junction 10 of the M40 at Cherwell Valley Services and Baynards Green Roundabout. 

Thames Valley Police said they were called just before 5.30am and that the lorry was on its side blocking both lanes of the A43. A spokeswoman said the driver had minor injuries and was taken to the Horton Hospital in Banbury. 

The exit slip roads have now reopened. Sensors say traffic has returned to normal.
