M4 delays: 'Serious collision' closes westbound lanes between Maidenhead and Ready as drivers warned of delays
Drivers are being warned of delays on the M4 near Reading and Maidenhead after a “serious collision”.
Emergency services rushed to the scene following the serious crash on the westbound carriageway between J8/9 (Maidenhead) and J10 (Reading). Police and ambulance are in attendance, as well as an air ambulance.
All lanes are currently closed as a result of the crash. There are delays to allow for the take-off of the air ambulance.
National Highways said in a travel update: “The M4 in Berkshire is closed westbound between J8/9 (Maidenhead) and J10 (Reading) due to a serious collision involving a car and a motorcycle.
“Police and Ambulance crews are on scene and an Air Ambulance has landed. National Highways traffic officers are assisting with road closures.”
A diversion route is in place, with westbound drivers advised to follow the hollow square diversion route. This will take drivers off the M4 at J8/9, onto theA4 towards Reading, which will eventually lead back on to the motorway via the A3290.
