DRIVERS were today delayed for a second time after the diversion route from the M40 was blocked by a lorry.
Part of the M40 was closed between Junction 8A and 9 northbound this morning after a major crash where a man was killed.
Investigating police officers told motorists to rejoin the M40 at junction 9 off the A34.
But hours later the A34 was blocked after a second accident.
Our live traffic feed said that fuel has spilled from a lorry and cars were sitting in traffic to the Peartree Roundabout.

The M40 has now been reopened following an earlier serious collision.
