Extensive repair work is now being done to the central reservation between J10 and J11 after a low-loader truck carrying a dustbin vehicle crashed into it at around 4.30pm yesterday. Four lanes remained closed this morning but the road was fully reopened shortly after 11am.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported from the incident, and no other vehicles were involved in the serious collision.
The crash have led to long delays on many roads in the Banbury[2] area.
The M40 has reopened with reduced capacity following a HGV collision yesterday.
Orla Dimond of National Highways[3] said: “We appreciate road users patience this morning as we had to reduce capacity past the scene to allow contractors to work safely and complete this challenging repair.
“Traffic[4] is now flowing past the scene and localised congestion in the area is now easing.”
