TWO crashes on the A34 yesterday caused long delays for commuters.

Two vans and a white Ford Fiesta collided on the southbound carriageway just south of the Botley Interchange at 7.45am.

The outside lane was blocked while recovery teams worked to remove the vehicles. It caused delays along the A34 until around 9am.

And then shortly after 2.20pm, police were called to another crash on the A34 northbound, just past the Chilton Interchange.

Three lorries collided just past the A4185 junction and the inside lane was blocked.

It caused long tailbacks for drivers heading off for the weekend.

No one was injured in either of the crashes.
