More than 60 people have been injured in a pile-up on a motorway in France.

Seven vehicles were involved in the multiple collision on the Paris-bound A13, in the village of Epone, about 25 miles (40km) east of the capital.

A total of 65 people were hurt, five critically, in the smash which happened at around 4.30am.

Two buses and a 38-ton lorry were among the vehicles involved.

Emergency service authorities said 85 firefighters and five mobile medical teams were sent to the scene.


The motorway has reopened but delays of up to two hours were expected in the surrounding area.

It is not clear what caused the accident.
