The M40 has fully reopened in South Warwickshire following another crash this morning (April 11).

The motorway had initially reopened following an earlier collision, before closing again northbound after a two-vehicle crash.

The road has been closed between J13 (Bishops Tachbrook) and J14 (Barford) for hours, with motorists out of their vehicles on the carriageway.

National Highways began releasing traffic earlier this afternoon, initially opening two of three lanes.

An update has now said all three lanes are open once again.
