M40 reopens after lorry carrying dustbin truck crash near Banbury

A stretch of the M40 in Oxfordshire has reopened after a lorry overturned across both carriageways.

The vehicle crashed through the central reservation between junctions 11 and 10 near Banbury at about 16:30 GMT on Wednesday.

Closures were in place on the motorway for more than 18 hours after the crash involving a low-loader, which was carrying a dustbin lorry.

National Highways said about 100m (328ft) of barrier had to be fixed.

Thames Valley Police said no-one was injured and no other vehicles were involved.

Barrier repairs are under way at the scene
