Saw this this morning, was backed up beyond junction 3 and further down. Looks like maybe a big accident as some of those little specialist fire vehicles headed down there.

Junction 4 is closed at the roundabout, opens a 11.30am.

I saw fire engines this morning and saw smoke, didn't know it was this, at least there's hopefully no injuries.
