Traffic gridlock on the M5 after two-lorry crash

Motorists have been caught in traffic mayhem on the M5 near Gloucester after a two-lorry crash.

Traffic ground to a halt on the M5 southbound between J11 and J11a after a crash involving two trucks near Gloucestershire Airport.

National Highways warned of seven miles of congestion and delays of around an hour on top of usual journey times.

One lane out of three remains closed for cleanup and recovery work.

London Underground commuters are facing a double whammy of delays this morning with the Elizabeth and Piccadilly lines hobbled.

Elsewhere, the Piccadilly line on the London Underground remains partially closed after significant leaf fall caused poor track conditions. This means there is no service between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge.
