Four lorries and two cars have been involved in a crash which has closed the M40 between junctions 10 and 11 near Banbury.
The road has been closed since the early hours of this morning.
Recovery work is now taking place and traffic is coping well.
The road will require resurfacing when recovery is complete.
There is congestion on the A422 between Brackley and Farthinghoe as traffic tries to avoid the closure.
