One dead and 15 injured after two trains crash in Wales

Two out of three lanes have been closed on the M40 after a crash.

Lanes two and three are shut northbound at junction 6 for Lewknor.

There are 2.5 miles of tailbacks and drivers are facing half an hour delays at the moment.

The suspension on the Circle line has been lifted after TfL finished repairing a points failure at Aldgate.

However there are severe delays clockwise while service recovers.

There is currently good service anticlockwise, and no other issues reported on any other London Underground lines.

BTP Superintendent Andrew Morgan said: ‘We can sadly confirm a man has died following this incident.

‘We extend our deepest sympathies to his loved ones, alongside everyone else impacted and specialist officers continue to provide support.

 ‘Residents will see an increased policing presence in the area in the coming days as a result.’

Meanwhile Network Rail and Transport for Wales said in a joint statement: ‘Our first thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the man who has lost his life, as well as all the other people involved in this incident.

‘We’re extremely grateful to the emergency services who attended the scene and helped our passengers and staff in challenging circumstances.

‘We are working closely with other agencies, including emergency services, to understand how this incident happened and they will have our full support.’
