THERE was very slow traffic on the M40 southbound before the Loudwater turn due to an earlier accident.

Two lanes of three were closed before junction 3 A40/A4094 while emergency services attended the scene. They have now been re-opened.

There was also congestion to junction 5 (Stokenchurch).

It was a three car collision involving a grey VW Golf, silver Smart car and blue BMW 318. There were no injuries.
