Lanes have begun to reopen on the M40 near Warwick following a vehicle fire and fuel spillage.

The motorway had been shut northbound between J15 Warwick and J16 for the M42.

But an update from National Highways says lanes two and three are now open again - but 90 minute delays are still expected.

Lane one is likely to remain closed "throughout the evening".
