TRAFFIC was delayed after two accidents on the M40 southbound today.

A silver Vauxhall Corsa and a Renault Clio were both involved in separate crashes between junction 9 at Bicester and junction 8A at Oxford.

Thames Valley Police were called to the incidents at 3.15pm, but no injuries were reported.

A police spokeswoman said officers were unsure of the cause of both incidents, but it seemed as if drivers lost control of their cars due to the bad weather.

The accidents were cleared by about 3.45pm.
