TRAFFIC has cleared after a crash between a motorbike and a car on Botley Road earlier today.
The collision happened at about 3.30pm near the entrance to Osney Court and the biker was due to be taken to hospital by ambulance.
A witness who called the Oxford Mail at 4.30pm said they could still see a body on the ground.
Another witness who called shortly after the accident said he could see vehicle parts strewn on the grass verge.
He said there were two fire engines and a police car on the scene and Botley Road traffic had been reduced to one lane, which was causing delays of at least ten minutes.
