"I would also like to thank motorists for their patience whilst we investigated this incident. We are aware of the impact this sort of closure has on motorists and we work hard with our partners to get roads reopened as quickly as possible, but we must also ensure our investigations at the scene are thorough for the sake of those injured and their families."
