A BROKEN-DOWN van caused 10-mile queues on the A34 this afternoon.

The white Ford Transit van broke down on the northbound carriageway just north of the Botley interchange, west of Oxford, at about 1.40pm, closing off one lane.

Tailbacks quickly built, and by 3.30pm there were queues back to the Milton interchange, near Didcot

The lane was reopened at 3.45pm but the traffic is still clearing now.
