It comes after the M4 was closed for just over two hours before reopening one lane.

Queues were extensive in both directions, between Membury Services and the Newbury junction, and delays of 50 minutes were being reported.

While traffic remains eastbound at this site, the incident appears to have been largely cleared after a crash between a lorry and a car.
