A crash on the M4 has closed five lanes on the motorway on Wednesday morning.

The incident - which saw a lorry overturn on the eastbound side and break into the central reservation barrier - took place just before 5am on May 11.

This was between junction 12 for Theale and junction 11 for Reading .

As a result, all three lanes on the eastbound side in that stretch have been closed (as of 7am), while two lanes on the westbound side remain shut.

Emergency services are at the scene.

A spokeswoman for Highways England confirmed the lanes on the motorway would be shut "for some time" due to the incident.

A diversion is in place for motorists on the M4 leaving junction 12. This is to go down the A4 Bath Road before rejoining the M4 at junction 11.
