Not technically Scooby-related but this will affect alot of peoples journeys today.

I have just heard from a colleague that is sat on the M4 near Hungerford that the M4 is closed around the area westbound and will be for about 4 hours.

Its around J14-15. I have just spoken to our sales guy and he said he got on at J15 coming towards Bracknell and was doing about 90mph and then saw a blue Nissan Micra in the fast lane travelling towards him the wrong way at approx the same speed.

He managed to avoid it but the 2 cars behind didnt and there was a big impact. 7 cars in total were involved.

The motorway is closed and there are BIG queues.

Edited to show you how.

If you type this:
[url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/england/newsid_1897000/1897082.stm[/url]

It becomes this:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/...00/1897082.stm

Oh, and the story is not nice:
"One motorist said the middle-aged man behind the wheel of the rogue vehicle looked "as if he knew precisely what he was doing".

Driving between J15 and J14 every day I get to see loads of near misses and insanely bad driving, but (thank the heavens) I've never seen anything like this. Makes me consider using the backroads instead from now on. It might be slower, but.....
