M4 drivers face delays after serious crash between car and lorry

Away from the M4, less severe delays are also reported on the A1M in Yorkshire.

One lane is closed northbound between Junction 36, near Warmsworth, and Junction 37, near Marr, in South Yorkshire.

An HGV is being recovered ‘following an earlier incident’, National Highways said – the nature of the incident is unclear at the moment.

Around three miles of congestion is expected, with 30 minutes of delays for drivers.

A section of the M4 westbound in Wiltshire has been closed this morning after a serious crash between a car and a lorry.

Drivers who were planning to take the road between Hungerford and Swindon – Junction 14 and Junction 15 – have been told to use a diversion route instead.

• Leave the M4 at Junction 14. At the roundabout, take the first exit and join the A338. 
• Follow for approximately three miles.
• At the A4 mini roundabout, turn right onto the A4 towards Hungerford avoiding Hungerford town centre. 
• After a short distance to the next roundabout take the second exit into Charnham Park. 
• Turn right onto the B4192 and follow for approximately 13 miles through Aldbourne to the A419 roundabout 
• Take the first exit and join the A419, continue to rejoin the M4 westbound at Junction 15.
