Multiple injuries after coach fire and crashes
Multiple crashes and a coach fire meant a major road into Oxfordshire was closed for "a number of hours".
Thames Valley Police confirmed it was called to the A34 southbound, between Abingdon Road and Fiddlers Lane junction, at 19:00 GMT on Friday.
A force spokesperson said they received reports of collisions on the north and southbound carriageways.
They said one person was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and "a number" of other people had been hurt but their injuries were not thought to be serious.
National Highways East said there had also been a coach fire between the M4 and A4185 Chilton.
Motorists were advised to avoid the area while the road closures were in place. The road has since reopened.
Police have asked anyone with information about the incident to contact 101.
The force spokesperson added: "We thank members of the public for their patience while the road was closed."

Volvo Cars sales fall 12% in May
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Volvo Cars sold 59,822 cars in May, down 12% from a year earlier, the Sweden-based company said on Wednesday. Volvo Cars, which is majority-owned by China's Geely, said in a statement sales of fully electric cars fell 27% to account for 21% of total sales volumes. Sales of electrified cars as a whole, also including plug-in hybrids, were down 20% to account for 44% of total sales. The company did not provide detail on regional sales. Volvo Cars, under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariffs, said last month it would cut 3,000 mostly white-collar jobs as it grapples with high costs, a slowdown in electric vehicle demand and trade uncertainty. Shares in the company, which in April withdrew its earnings forecast for the next two years in the face of tariffs, were up 0.5% at 0710 GMT. 擷取數據時發生錯誤 登入存取你的投資組合 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤

Instant View: Stellantis CEO's appointment reactions
(Reuters) -Automaker Stellantis on Wednesday named Antonio Filosa, the Italian head of its North American operations, as its CEO, effective from June 23. Filosa succeeds Carlos Tavares, who quit the group in December after sharp drops in profits and sales raised questions about his management. Milan-listed shares in Stellantis rose by as much as 1% following the news, but had erased gains to ease 0.05% by 0955 GMT. COMMENTS: ANGELO MEDA, HEAD OF EQUITIES AND PORTFOLIO MANAGER AT BANOR SIM "After all those months, they chose an internal candidate? It strikes me as almost a fallback solution... I think that explains the tepid share price reaction." INTERMONTE ANALYSTS GIANLUCA BERTUZZO AND ALBERTO VILLA: "(Filosa's) career has predominantly been in South America, where he delivered positive results. "Nevertheless, we don't consider the appointment to be one that will have a strong impact, given Tavares resigned six months ago; his experience in North America is limited and other potential candidates had superior profiles on paper." INDUSTRY MINISTER ADOLFO URSO, QUOTED BY ITALIAN NEWS AGENCY ANSA "A great choice [...that ] confirms the renewed centrality of Italy in the group's strategy." PEUGEOT FAMILY, SECOND LARGEST SHAREHOLDER "We have full confidence in his ability to engage into a new step of transformation, at the service of brands, clients and collaborators of the company. "His fine knowledge of ground realities and his intimate understanding of the industrial culture of Stellantis are assets to put Stellantis on a new operational trajectory based on excellence of products, closeness with markets and commitments of the teams." UNION REACTION SAMUELE LODI, NATIONAL SECRETARY OF THE ITALIAN FEDERATION OF METALWORKERS: "It is necessary to quickly address the problems, which without an industrial plan for Italy to relaunch research, development and production, also risks compromising the economic results needed to increase investment. "It is necessary to put workers first by increasing wages and confronting the future employment to encourage regeneration. The appointment of the new CEO also requires the reopening of a strategic discussion with the prime minister's office." CFE-CGC, UNION IN STELLANTIS FRANCE: "The new CEO will have to make sales recover, mainly in Europe and North America, and restore the brand image tarnished by quality scandals." CFDT UNION IN STELLANTIS FRANCE: "The CFDT Stellantis greets with satisfaction the nomination of a new CEO for the company. The end of this transition period was eagerly expected. It was urgent to put an end to it." "The CFDT is expecting a lot from this new CEO: a clear strategic plan adapted to the specificity of the different world markets while ensuing a fair transition, a new impetus in the social policy putting the human and the workers at the heart of priorities (...) A balanced sharing of businesses on the different geographical regions, not putting France and Europe back in a secondary position."
