A second person has died following a car crash on Christmas Day.

Thomas Pritchard, 31, died on Wednesday at the John Radcliffe Hospital after receiving injuries from the crash on the A338 between East Hanney and Frilford, Oxfordshire.

The collision took place shortly before lunchtime on Christmas Day and involved a red Mini Cooper and Mr Pritchard's white Peugeot 208.
