TRAFFIC was brought to a standstill earlier this morning following a crash on the M40 motorway.

Highways England stopped traffic at 8.30am this morning after a single vehicle crash.

The incident happened northbound between junction 3 (Loudwater/Beaconsfield) and junction 4 for High Wycombe.

Traffic officers arrived at the scene with delays building up for around an hour.

At about 9am traffic was released in one lane whilst emergency services dealt with the incident. Two lanes remained closed.

Delays are starting to ease now with just over 1 mile of congestion.
