There are delays of nearly an hour on the M40 in South Warwickshire after a diesel spill.

National Highways said two lanes are closed on the northbound carriageway around junction 15 (Warwick).

A vehicle is broken down and leaking diesel onto the road.

"Our traffic officers are on scene working to clear the spillage," National Highways said.

"There's a 50 minute delay on approach with four miles of congestion."
