POLICE closed a road after a car crash near where a 21-year-old was killed at the weekend.

A Peugeot 206 ended up on its roof after a collision with a Peugeot 406 on the A415 near Ducklington, at the turning for Hardwick shortly after 4.30pm yesterday.

Passengers and drivers suffered minor injuries. A woman was taken by ambulance to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

The collision happened about 400 yards from where James Franklin, 21, from Monmouth Road, Oxford, died after his Renault Clio and a Ford Transit van collided near Cokethorpe School on Saturday.

The road is a notorious accident blackspot.

There have been five deaths on the stretch between Witney and Standlake in less than three years.

A 50mph limit was brought in last year following the deaths of a five-year-old girl and 22-year-old man who were passengers in a car which went out of control.

The county council said this week that the chances of receiving Government money to upgrade the A415 are remote.
