Emergency crews have put out a fire that engulfed a van on a slip road.

Crews were faced with a "well-developed fire involving a Transit Van", according to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service.

It added: "Fortunately the occupants escaped to a place of safety and with assistance from TVP Roads Policing the area was made safer, whilst breathing apparatus crews using high pressured hose reels extinguished the fire."
