A CRASH involving a car and a van has caused a road closure near Bicester.

At about 5.40pm, a Peugeot 206 was in collision with a Peugeot Partner van on the Stoke Lyne Road in Stratton Audley.

Tailbacks of about a mile were reported in both directions, police said.

The road has since closed due to spilt oil, but is expected to re-open shortly after 7pm.

The male driver of the car was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
