Slow traffic along the A420 near the Botley Interchange after crash involving broken-down lorry
TRAFFIC is crawling along the A420 after a lorry broke down this morning.
Motorists are being warned to expect delays of up to 10 minutes after a HGV broke down travelling eastbound towards the Botley Interchange shortly at 7.35am.
However, it is believed that after the lorry broke down another heavy goods vehicle ploughed into the back of it.
Thames Valley Police spokeswoman Charlotte Redman said: "It would appear that another lorry has gone into the back of it.
"However, by 8.20am all the vehicles are now off the carriageway and recovery is being arranged."
Traffic is still very slow due to the road being partially blocked by the vehicles.
