A multi-car collision on the M11 southbound between junction 9 (Newmarket) and junction 8 (Stansted Airport) halted traffic, forcing the closure of two lanes and leaving drivers stuck in long tailbacks with congestion stretching for miles. Emergency crews attended the scene while vehicles queued in both directions and motorists were warned of severe delays. Both lanes have since reopened, but significant delays are expected to continue as recovery teams clear the road. Wrecked cars have been moved onto the hard shoulder and staff are sweeping debris from the carriageway. Drivers are urged to check their route before travelling as disruption is likely to last for some time.
