A lane on the M40 is closed after an accident and driving conditions on the motorway in the north of county tonight are described as hazardous.

Police said ice and falling snow played a part in a collision on the northbound carriageway, between junction 9 at Wendlebury and junction 10 at Ardley.

And the A44 Oxford-Chipping Norton-Worcester road has been closed at Fish Hill, near Broadway in Worcestershire, due to heavy snow falling across the Cotswolds tonight.

Drivers are being advised to find alternative routes and not travel in the area if possible.
