HOMES in South Oxfordshire are without electricity this afternoon after a power cut.

It is believed the outage in Wantage was caused by a crash earlier today which brought down power cables.

The incident happened on the B4494 which is closed in both directions up to the Woolley turn off.

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks says power will be restored by 5pm.
