Fire service reminds drivers to take extra care during winter months following serious crash near Banbury
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue have released pictures from last week’s crash on the A361 near Banbury and offered advice to drivers using the roads over the winter.
Firefighters from Banbury were assisted by crews from Brackley and the specialist Rescue Tender team from Kidlington when they attended the crash on the A361 on Wednesday, November 19.
The crews had to cut one person free from their vehicle, who was then taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
Following the crash, the fire service has reminded drivers to follow the four rules that will help to keep them safe.
A spokesperson for Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “As the evenings draw in earlier and the weather begins to change, our roads can quickly become icy and unpredictable.
“Please take extra care when travelling and remember the Fatal 4: drink and drug driving, not wearing seatbelts, using mobile phones and speeding.
“Let’s all do our part to keep our community safe. Stay alert and drive responsibly.”
