"An investigation has been started after a glider crashed on a main road
in Oxfordshire, narrowly missing a house.

The pilot was attempting to land at Bicester Gliding Club near Caversfield
when the aircraft came down across the A4421 at 1730 BST on Thursday.

The single seat glider was badly damaged but the pilot escaped uninjured.

The British Gliding Association said a full investigation would be
carried out to determine the cause. "
