Overview
- Two lorries crashed on the M4 westbound between Junctions 13 and 14 on Monday, ripping open a load of about 20 tonnes of Lovello Prosecco.
- National Highways said vehicle recovery finished by 11:30am and debris was cleared by 12:56pm, before the road reopened around 2:20pm.
- Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue treated one person for minor injuries and no one was trapped.
- Thames Valley Police opened a dangerous driving investigation with early indications that a driver may have used a mobile phone at the wheel.
- The spill scattered bottles, glass and liquid across the carriageway, which slowed the clean-up and caused long tailbacks and diversions.
