There are long tailbacks on the M4 this morning

A stretch of the M4 is closed after hydraulic fluid spilled across the carriageway, National Highways has said.

The motorway is shut eastbound between junction 15 for Swindon and junction 14 for Hungerford and there are 30 minute delays.

National Highways said it is carrying out emergency resurfacing works after the road surface was "significantly damaged" by the spillage.

Traffic is being diverted off the M4 at junction 15, to re-join at junction 14.
