Traffic lights out of action at busy interchange

Traffic lights on part of an intersection on a busy A-road have been damaged after a road crash.

National Highways said the traffic lights at the Botley Interchange on the A34 near Oxford were damaged following a collision about 08:00 GMT on Thursday.

The westbound lights are not functioning but the eastbound lights are unaffected.

A spokesperson for the National Highways said: "Our engineers are in attendance to assess the damaged control box and will be working to fix the lights as soon as possible."

Motorists are being urged to approach with care as it is "unclear how long repairs will take".
