AN ACCIDENT involving a tractor means a road is set to be closed for several hours.

The collision on the B4044 Eynsham Road in Farmoor is on the route of today’s Women’s Tour.

The road is closed in both directions and is expected to be so for ‘some time’.

Thames Valley Police reported that the road will remain closed for recovery work between the B4017 Cumnor Road and the A420 for several hours, with divisions in place.

Motorists are urged to avoid the area.
