UP TO 100 cars were stuck on the M40 for more than three hours last night due to the heavy snow.

Police said the M40 was closed between junction five for High Wycombe and junction nine for Wendlebury from 9pm.

A spokesman confirmed a number of lorries had become stuck in the heavy snow, causing the road to become blocked in both directions.

Both carriageways were closed while police and the Highways Agency worked to clear the motorway.

It was reopened shortly after midnight. There have been no major incidents reported this morning.

Oxford Bus Company said its service were running as normal.
