A WOMAN was in hospital last night with serious injuries after a crash on Oxford’s Northern Bypass.
Emergency crews were called to the westbound carriageway of Elsfield Way at 7.50am. A witness told the Oxford Mail that a car had left the road and ended up on a cycle path.
A police spokesman said a red Fiesta Zetec had hit a power box, near the Cutteslowe Roundabout.
The victim, believed to be a passenger, was freed from the vehicle by fire crews.
She was then taken to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital with serious leg, back and head injuries. No one else was believed to have been injured. It is not clear what happened to the driver.
The crash caused severe delays in the area, with one lane of the carriageway closed until the vehicle was recovered shortly after 9am.
A police spokesman said the woman’s condition remained serious yesterday afternoon.
