The M4 has re-opened after all three lanes on the M4 westbound were closed near Swindon, as a result of an overturned caravan.
The caravan was being towed by a red van, when it overturned between junctions 15 and 16 this afternoon.
A spokesman for Wiltshire Police confirmed that nobody had been injured in the incident.
A tweet from the Highways England confirmed that they were working with emergency services to clear the site, and that there were delays.

At the time, only the hard shoulder was in use. The motorway has now fully opened, but with delays of 60 minutes stretching back to junction 14.
