A LORRY broke down on the M40 near Bicester and partly blocked a slip road.

One southbound lane was blocked between 8am and 9am on the exit slip road ramp heading towards Wendlebury Interchange.

The breakdown caused queues stretching back to Bucknell, but the lorry has since been removed and tailbacks were easing by 9.25am.
