M4 accident scene 'pretty chaotic'published at 08:14 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2016
People stuck in the traffic have been calling BBC Radio Berkshire with what they can see at one of the two problem spots on the M4 this morning.
Quote Message
I have just passed by the scene of the accident on junction 7 and it looks pretty chaotic certainly going westbound. Coming off the slip road at junction 7 the road is completely closed and the emergency services are attending to a vehicle fire. One lane of the motorway is also closed and traffic is queuing beyond junction 6 towards the M25.
