A stretch of the busy commuter route near Northleach remains shut and will not reopen until Friday morning.

"The road is expected to be open again early tomorrow morning in time for the morning rush."

An appeal has been issued for anyone who witnessed the crash, or saw the three vehicles before the collision, to make contact with the police.
