At least 17 people were injured today when a bus veered off a motorway slip road and overturned while driving through heavy fog near Oxford.
The Oxford Bus Company vehicle came off the M40 slip road northbound at junction seven near Thame.
South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) described it a "major incident due to the number of patients involved".
Accident investigation work and barrier repairs are being carried out at the site which is enveloped in thick fog.
"The coach driver and 16 passengers had sustained a variety of injuries, such as cuts, bruises and broken bones," he said.
All 17 injured passengers were taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
"At the scene we had six ambulances, a rapid response vehicle, three ambulance officers and the trust's hazardous area response team," he said.
He said a specialist was also on hand at the hospital's emergency department "to assist with the arrival of this large volume of patients".
