A MAN was left with a broken pelvis after a serious crash in Oxford yesterday.

The 49-year-old man was driving a black Honda Civic on Watlington Road at around 3.20pm.

He went to overtake a HGV lorry at the junction of Blackberry Lane, at the same time the lorry was turning into the road and they crashed.

His car flipped onto the roof and slid along the road.

Emergency services raced to the scene and he was raced to the John Radcliffe Hospital with serious injuries. He is still there now.

The investigating officer, PC Christopher Weatherley of the Roads Policing Unit, based in Abingdon, said: “This was a two-vehicle collision and I am appealing to anybody who witnessed the incident or who has any information to please contact Thames Valley Police.

“I’m particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have dash-cam footage from the area at around 3.20pm yesterday to please check this and contact us if it’s captured something that could assist the investigation. 

"Likewise, if anyone saw a black Honda Civic or a blue/red HGV prior to the crash – this could be helpful to the investigation.

“You can call 101, quoting reference 43210156840, or you can make a report online.”
