DRIVERS going towards Bicester have been warned to expect delays after the diversion route from the M40 has been blocked because of an 'incident'.
**UPDATE**: The road has now reopened - here are pictures from the gridlock and lorry crash
Part of the M40 is closed between Junction 8A and 9 northbound after a fatal crash.
Investigating police officers told motorists to rejoin the M40 at junction 9 off the A34.
But now part of the A34 is blocked after another accident.
Our live traffic feed said that fuel has spilled from a lorry and cars are sitting in traffic to the Peartree Roundabout. - follow the live updates from the feed here.
⚠️Expect long delays on the #A34 northbound near #Islip towards #Bicester due to an incident blocking the carriageway. This is the diversion route for the #M40 northbound closure so we are expecting very long queues, please avoid if possible #OxonTravel
