Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a fatal road traffic collision in Oxford.

A white Hyundai IX35 was travelling along the A4142 Eastern Bypass Road towards the Headington roundabout when it left the carriageway and hit a tree near Beaumont Road at around 10.50pm on Sunday January 21st.

The driver, a man in his thirties, and a passenger, a man in his forties, were injured and were taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital.

Sadly, the driver has died from his injuries.

The passenger remains in hospital with serious injuries.

Investigating officer PC Mark Jones, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, said:

“Sadly, a man has died following this collision and our thoughts are with his loved ones.

“I would ask for anyone who saw the collision, or the Hyundai prior to the collision, to contact us.

“I would also ask any drivers with a dash-camera who were in the area at the time, as well as anyone with CCTV cameras or video doorbells in the area, to check their recordings and let us know if they have captured anything that could help our investigation."
