Fuel spill on M40

12:50pm Sunday 29th April 2012 in News

THE M40 southbound between Junctions 11 and 10 was closed for more than two hours this morning due to a fuel spillage.

Emergency services were called to an accident between a lorry tanker and two cars at 7.30am.

The lorry had crashed into a barrier on the hard shoulder and ruptured the tank, causing diesel to spill across the carriageway.

The road reopened at 9.35am. No one was injured.

"The road reopened at 9.35am".
This article was published at 12.50pm. So how is it "breaking news".
News, possibly. Old News, definitely. "breaking news", NO.

M40 seems to be more closed than open these days.
