Drivers are facing significant disruption near Stansted Airport on Friday because of two multi-vehicle collisions on the M11. One serious crash, involving two lorries and a van, closed the southbound M11 between Royston and Newmarket after midday. This has caused delays of up to 45 minutes and stationary traffic stretching back for five miles.
