ALL lanes of the M40 northbound have reopened following a three-car smash.

But there are still tailbacks between junctions seven and 10 northbound, the Highways Agency warned.

It is expected the queues will ease by about 1pm.

The crash, which left car on its roof, took place at 12.04pm between junctions nine for Bicester and 10 for Cherwell Valley Services. No one was injured.

Two lanes of the road were closed, causing long tailbacks and delays of at least an hour.
