Major stretch of motorway reopens following multi-vehicle collision

A stretch of the M4 has reopened after it was closed in both directions for several hours following a major multi-vehicle collision.

Both lanes of the carriageway were closed, between Membury Services and J14, after a 13-vehicle pile up on Saturday (23 March).

The road was shut at 3:15pm so emergency services and an air ambulance could access the scene.

Drivers were told to allow for extra journey time and there was several miles of congestion.

One person had to be cut from their vehicle by fire crews.

Three people were checked over by paramedics at the scene. No serious injuries were reported.

The westbound and eastbound carriages have since reopened.
