Overview
- Warwickshire Police issued a witness and dashcam appeal for incident 380 of 4 November after an HGV crossed from the northbound to the southbound M40 and struck two vehicles.
- All M40 carriageways have now reopened following overnight recovery, central reservation repairs and resurfacing between junctions 12 and 13.
- Six people were assessed at the scene; a man and a woman suffered serious injuries and were taken to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire, and two others were also taken to hospital.
- National Highways confirmed significant barrier and road surface damage from the collision, which required emergency works before reopening.
- Network disruption continues elsewhere, with M62 westbound resurfacing after an HGV fuel spill reducing lanes from this evening, a cleared M25 car fire in Essex that left residual delays, and a Heathrow Tunnel collision that reopened with queues.
