Faulty gauge triggers flood warning
False reports of high water levels on the River Thame are thought to have been caused by a gauge fault.
The levels prompted a flood warning for the River Thame between Eythrope to Chiselhampton.
They have since been checked by the Environment Agency and found to be "normal".
The Environment Agency said: "The levels indicated last night have been attributed to a gauge fault. Property flooding is no longer expected."
South Central Ambulance Service said a man in his mid-50s sustained minor head and facial injuries and was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital.

Coach causes Headington delays
A crash involving a coach in Headington has caused delays this morning.
London Road was partially blocked for a short while before it was moved out of the way - the road is now clear.
A total of £1.3m is being spent to ensure two areas of Oxfordshire are "healthy towns".
One development in Barton in Oxford, and another in Bicester,
were given the special status a year ago
- with nearly a million pounds of the cash invested by the NHS.
It means things like new walking and cycling routes are being developed to encourage people to get active.

Oxford men's win in the boat race means it is now 82-80 to Cambridge after 163 editions of the men's boat race*.
They beat their rivals by one and a quarter lengths, but only after the race appeared at risk of cancellation or postponement following the discovery of a
unexploded WWII bomb

*Sharp readers will have observed that 82+80 does not equal 163. So who won the missing race? The answer is neither,
the 1877 edition was a dead heat

Flood warning
Flooding is expected this morning on the River Thame between Eythrope and Chiselhampton.
The Environment Agency has
issued a warning
and tasked a team to inspect the stretch for blockages or a fault in the gauge
There is also a flood alert in place for the River Coln and its tributaries around Fairford and Buscot Wick.
