A CAR collided with the central reservation of a motorway today. 

Traffic delays were reported after the crash, which happened on the M40 northbound at junction 7, near Thame.

Two lanes were closed and queuing traffic followed. They have both since been reopened. 

All southbound traffic was also stopped as emergency services attended to the accident on the opposite carriageway.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to the incident just after 1.50pm, but it was not needed.

A South Central Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "A car hit the central reservation. We sent one rapid response car. Nobody was injured or needed hospital treatment."

The road was cleared before 2pm.
