Last night firefighters from Bicester, Banbury and Kidlington attended the scene of a shocking crash on the M40 northbound between junctions 10 and 11.
The two passengers in the car were fortunate not to have life threatening injuries while firefighters had to use hydraulic cutting gear to release the driver who was trapped.
Images from Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service show how the motorway barrier absorbed a huge amount of force from the collision.
A spokesperson for Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “We would like to highlight our fatal 4 road safety messages which are always wear a seatbelt, don’t become distracted while driving, don’t drive over the set speed limits and never drink or use drugs when you are driving.”
