The closure has led to lengthy delays on the A34 in Oxfordshire

A section of a major route linking the midlands to the south coast remains closed in Oxfordshire after a fatal crash.

Thames Valley Police said a man in his 20s had died at the scene on the A34 between Abingdon and the Marcham Interchange on Friday morning.

The road remains closed southbound between the junctions, whilst the northbound entry slip road at Marcham Interchange has now fully reopened.

National Highways remains on site and estimated the route would fully reopen between 19:15 and 19:30 GMT.
