A five-year-old boy has died in a crash involving a motorbike and a car.
Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses after a white and orange KTM motorcycle and a black Ford Focus crashed on the B4011 in Oxfordshire, at 14:00 BST on Sunday.
A child, in a rear seat of the car, died at the scene.
The motorcyclist, in his 40s, was taken to hospital with serious injures. The car driver, a woman in her 30s, and a nine-year-old child had minor injuries.
Lead investigator Phil Hanham, of the serious collision investigation unit based at Bicester, said: "Very sadly, as a result of this collision, a child has died of his injuries.
"His family are being supported by specially trained family liaison officers and the thoughts of all of us at Thames Valley Police are with them at this extremely upsetting time.
"I would like to appeal to anybody who witnessed this collision to please get in touch with Thames Valley Police."
The force has also appealed for dashcam footage of the crash, at the junction of Thame Road, Blackthorn, or the moments leading up to it.
