A LORRY which shed some of its load on the Oxford Northern Bypass has caused a motorcyclist to crash.

The lorry shed debris over the A40 at Headington at about 4pm this afternoon, and the biker hit a piece shortly after, coming off his bike and sustaining head injuries.

An ambulance crew have taken him to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Headington for further treatment, but it is not know how serious his injuries are.
