Overview

• National Highways stopped traffic on the M25 clockwise between Junctions 18 and 19 after a collision left a vehicle overturned, then moved the vehicle to the hard shoulder and began debris clearance with delays of up to 60 minutes.
• The M4 eastbound near Hungerford saw a five-vehicle crash in which two vehicles caught fire; fire crews extinguished the blaze, two people were taken into ambulance care, and the scene was handed to police before lanes later reopened.
• The M48 Severn Bridge westbound closed after a car and motorcycle collision, with traffic diverted via the Prince of Wales Bridge and officials advising extra journey time.
• On the M40 southbound between Junctions 13 and 12, a multi-vehicle collision led to traffic being held and delays up to an hour before traffic was released and congestion began to ease.
• Earlier queues on the M62 eastbound at Junction 21 eased after the crashed vehicles were moved to the hard shoulder and the closed lane reopened.
