People are being warned about hazardous smoke due to a barn fire in Oxfordshire.

Fire crews are currently tackling the blaze off Grenoble Road, Oxford, which started on Wednesday evening.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said drivers should take a "careful, slow approach" around the roundabout at Frys Hill due to a hose stretching across the carriageway.

People have also been advised to keep their windows and doors closed because of thick, grey smoke rising from the flames.
