FOUR people were injured when a car left the M40 motorway and ploughed into a ditch this morning.
The incident happened on the southbound stretch between junction 6 Watlington, and junction 7, Thame, just before 7am.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue, Thames Valley Police and South Central Ambulance Service were all called to the scene.
The four sustained minor injuries.
It forced the closure of the road as the vehicle was recovered, however all lanes were re-opened at 7.30am.
The head of road policing for Thames Valley, Assistant Superintendent Henry Parsons, warned drivers to be careful as snow hits the county.
He said: "There's ice/snow on the roads. We're already busy with crashes across the Thames Valley. Please allow more time for your journeys and be safe."
