Knock On Effect

This was the A34 today just after lunch, traffic heading East towards the M40 was not moving at all. Apparently all this traffic was held up because there was a car fire, I am not sure if the M40 North was closed or just reduced, but I know that the traffic all around Oxford this afternoon was just crawling along. I was told my a man with a Sunderland Accent that it took him over 30min to get from Botley to the Train station. Anyone have an more traffic nightmare stores from today?
