Three vehicle crash causes long delays on southbound M11

The AA traffic map shows there's very slow traffic due to the earlier crash on the M11 going south from junction 9, at Saffron Walden, to junction 8, for the A120 at Bishops Stortford.

There are delays of over 45 minutes on the #M11 southbound in #Essex between J10 and J8 due to an earlier collision between J9 (#GreatChesterford) and J8 (@STN_Airport )

All lanes are now open and delays should now start to ease.
