Lanes reopen after huge oil spill on M4 motorway
ALL lanes on the M4 motorway have now reopened after a oil spill yesterday.
The M4 westbound between Junction 12, Reading and Junction 13 Newbury, closed after approximately 500 litres of diesel spilled onto the road.
Highways England closed the M4 for several hours after the lorry ruptured its fuel tank on May 12.
UPDATE - All lanes are now open on the #M4 westbound between J12 #Reading and J13 #Newbury #Oxford. The J13 westbound exit is also open following emergency resurfacing. Thank you for your patience. Have a safe onward journey. pic.twitter.com/Z0TR2G4KYB
