Yahoo6 days ago
A section of the westbound A14 in Suffolk was closed for several hours following an earlier crash.
National Highways said two lanes of the three-lane section between junction 39 for Kentford and junction 27 for west Newmarket were shut at about 12:20 BST on Saturday.
All the lanes have since reopened, it added.
It said a specialist team was called to clear an oil spill that occurred during the collision. A road sign was also damaged.
A traveller caught up in the congestion believed a car had smashed into the central reservation and spun across the road.
At its peak there had been delays of about 30 minutes on the approach and about four miles of congestion, National Highways added.

Tributes to 'devoted father' who died after crash

The family of a motorcyclist who died after a crash involving two cars have said he was a "devoted father" who had "cheeky charm and enthusiasm for life". Steven Morris, 38, was taken to hospital with serious injuries after the crash in Alfreton Road, Underwood, Nottinghamshire, on Sunday and died a short time later, despite the efforts of emergency workers. Mr Morris's family described him as "a family man" who "touched so many lives". Nottinghamshire Police said officers were called just before 20:00 BST and issued an appeal for anyone who saw any of the vehicles involved - a Harley Davidson motorcycle, a Volvo V90 and a Bentley Brooklands - before the crash. In a statement, Mr Morris's family said: "We are so desperately heartbroken and devastated at the loss of our beloved Steven, known to those closest as Mo, who has been taken much too soon at the tender age of 38. "We were incredibly fortunate to have called him our Steven and he will be loved always. "We would like to thank all the emergency services and members of public present at the scene who helped Steven, it means a lot to know you were there." Det Con Andrew Fawcett, of the force's serious collision investigation unit, confirmed Mr Morris's family were being supported by specially trained officers as an investigation into the crash continued. "We know this has been a huge shock and very difficult time for Mr Morris's family as they try to come to terms with their loss," he added. Follow BBC Nottingham on Facebook, on X, or on Instagram.

Multi-car crash in Grapevine prompts hours-long road closures, police say alcohol may have been a factor

Alcohol may have been a factor in a multi-car crash early Friday morning in Grapevine, according to police. The crash happened around 1:40 a.m. in the intersection of Grapevine Mills Parkway and Grapevine Mills Boulevard North, Grapevine police said. Police said a driver in a sedan collided with two other vehicles in the intersection. That driver and three passengers were taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. One of them is in a possibly life-threatening condition, police said. The driver of the second vehicle, another sedan, was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the third vehicle, also a sedan, wasn't injured. As a result of the crash, the traffic control box for the intersection and a power pole sustained damage. Grapevine police said the roads will remain closed as officers continue investigating and crews work to make repairs. Temporary stop signs will be used until the traffic signals are repaired. While the cause of the crash is still under investigation, police said they believe alcohol was involved.
