Police described a crash which closed off Oxford High Street as "minor".

Oxford High Street was shut around 2pm on Friday after an accident. 

Commenting at 2.40pm, a spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: "It was a minor injury, damage collision only and we have now left the scene."

Traffic was also slow-moving on St Aldate's and St Clement's Street at the time.

This required Oxford Bus Company to divert some of its routes temporarily. 

A statement from the company thanked customers for their patience after services were diverted via Abingdon Road, Donnington Bridge and Iffley.
