POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a crash which saw three people suffer serious injuries.

The incident took place on Wednesday at about 7.10pm just south of the junction of the A361 and Chipping Norton Road, with a green Ford Fiesta and a blue Ford Ka involved.

The passenger in the Fiesta, a 24-year-old man, sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious condition.

The driver of the Fiesta, another 24-year-old man, also sustained serious injuries and remains in hospital in a stable condition.

The driver of the Ka, a 58-year-old woman, sustained serious injuries and remains in hospital in a stable condition.

A 15-year-old girl, who was the passenger in the Ka, suffered minor injuries and did not require hospital treatment.

No arrests have been made.

Investigating officer, PC Andy Wickens of the roads policing unit, said: “I would like to speak to anyone who saw this collision, or who has any dash cam footage which could be relevant to our investigation.

“If you do, please call us on 101, quoting reference number 43210416549, or make a report online.”

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service reported that crews from four stations attended the scene, and used hydraulic equipment to rescue the casualties.

Watch manager Dan Weeks said he wanted to remind drivers of the importance of wearing a seatbelt to prevent serious injury.
