Four people have been killed in two major accidents on two of the country's busiest motorways.
Three men were killed after a double-decker coach collided with their stationary car on the M1 in Bedfordshire.
Their vehicle was on the hard shoulder between junctions 12 and 13 when the collision occurred at 6.46am this morning.
A fourth man has been taken to a hospital in Oxford with serious injuries, but nobody on board the coach was hurt. The northbound carriageway of the M1 has now reopened to the public.
The coach driver has been arrested in connection with the crash, and is being interviewed by police in Luton.
Meanwhile, one man has died in a pile-up on the M40, with another fighting for their life in hospital. Six people were seriously hurt, and as many as 45 people have been left with minor injuries.
The crash occurred just before 7.50am this morning on the northbound carriageway between junctions 9 and 10 in Bicester, Oxfordshire. An estimated 30 cars were involved.
That stretch of the motorway has now reopened, after being closed by the emergency services for nine hours.
Zara Smith, who was travelling to Stockport when traffic came to a standstill, described the scene as "carnage".
