A major motorway has been closed after a crash and delays of two hours are being reported.

National Highways says the M40 has been shut northbound between Junction 13 for Bishops Tachbrook and Junction 14 for Barford. It calls the incident a “serious collision”.

There has not been any estimated time given as to when the carriageway may reopen.

Earlier today there was a collision on the same side of the road a bit further north, between Junction 14 and Junction 15.
