Flore bypass improvements after several fatal crashes
Changes are being made to a major road that has seen several fatal crashes since it was built seven years on the A45 Flore Bypass in Northamptonshire will begin overnight on Monday 4 Northamptonshire Council (WNC) says a central hatched area will be introduced to make it clear that the road is a single - and not a dual - carriageway."A new enforcement bay is also being built at the end of the bypass near the M1, and the route will be subject to an increased number of police patrols," a WNC spokesman added. A van driver died on the bypass in February, after a crash in broad daylight with a white Mercedes Sprinter. At least two other drivers have died in collisions since the bypass opened in council spokesman said: "A central hatched area is being introduced on the Flore Bypass to improve road safety following several incidents."This is being done to give a visual guide to motorists that the road layout is a single carriageway and to reduce the number of accidents caused by overtakes."The road will be fully closed each night from Monday 4 to Tuesday 19 August, between 20:00 and 06:00 BST, with a signed diversion route."The council appreciates residents' patience while these important improvements are carried out to enhance safety for all road users," the spokesman added.

Major motorway closed near London after crash involving two lorries
A stretch of the M4 has closed after a crash involving two lorries near Slough. Traffic came to a standstill on the M4 westbound after two HGVs crashed on the busy motorway in Berkshire. The carriageway is closed westbound between junctions J7 (Slough) and J8 (Maidenhead) after the smash at about 11am. Emergency services are on the scene, National Highways said. Access from the slip road from Slough at J7 onto the M4 is also blocked. Traffic faces long delays in the area, with westbound queues building up towards the M25 and Heathrow. Drivers took to social media to warn others to 'reroute if you can.' One motorist said: 'Massive crash two lorries westbound on M4 passed junction 7. Road closed and will be for a while I would think. Fire engines there but not ambulances yet. Just saw as I'm heading towards Heathrow on the coach in the opposite direction. May want to re-route if you can.' Got a story? Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ Or you can submit your videos and pictures here.
