Warwickshire Police announced a road closure was in place on the motorway at 8.30pm last night.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “On arrival crews found six patients.

"A man and a woman were treated for serious injuries, and both were conveyed under emergency driving conditions to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.

“A second man was treated for potentially serious injuries, and a third man was treated for injuries not believed to be serious before being conveyed to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.

“Two further people did not wish to be assessed.”

The M40 is still closed as of 11am this morning on the southbound carriageway between J15 (Warwick) and J12 (Gaydon).

The closure is causing traffic to back up around in and around Warwick and Leamington.

Work is currently taking place to repair barriers and resurface the road.
