London Road in Headington has reopened following a car fire.

Firefighters and police were called to the scene by the Green Road Roundabout at about 11.30am.

Thames Valley Police spokeswoman Rhianne Pope said the smoking car was a white Fiat 500. She said there were no other vehicles involved in the collision.

She said the road had to be closed, adding: “Because there is a lot of smoke it is dangerous for the traffic.”

Buses were being divered as a result of the closure.
