PARAMEDICS were called to two road traffic accidents south of Abingdon today.

The first accident involving two cars happened at 8.35am in Allin's Lane, East Hendred, and three patients were taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, with injuries not thought to be life-threatening.

The second happened five minutes later on the Hanney Road in Steventon. Fire crews freed one person from a car following a single-vehicle accident, but he did not need hospital treatment.
