The M42 has now fully reopened in South Warwickshire following a crash involving multiple vehicles this morning (December 10).

National Highways had reported the closure of the northbound carriageway between J3 and J3A (M40).

Emergency services and traffic officers were at the scene trying to clear the carriageway.

There were delays of up to 45 minutes on the approach.

"Recovery has been arranged and en route.
