Drivers have been warned to expect delays on the A34 in Berkshire as one lane remains closed after a lorry carrying a digger crashed.

It left the northbound carriageway between junction 13 of the M4 near Chieveley and the A4185 near Chilton on Wednesday at about 16:45 BST.

The road was closed overnight to recover the lorry and its 24-tonne digger - one lane has since reopened.

Motorists are being urged to allow extra time or re-route their journey.

National Highways said the lane closure on the northbound carriageway was in place to repair a barrier.
