Drivers faced commuter chaos on the M40 this morning after a crash resulted in long delays.

An early morning crash on the southbound carriageway between junction 2 for Beaconsfield and junction 1a for the M25 saw two lanes closed for emergency repairs to the "heavily damaged" barrier. 

The lane closure saw drivers faced with more than an hour of delays from junction 5 for Stokenchurch. 

Highways England said its contractors were working "as fast as possible" to complete the repairs and reopen the closed lane.
