Accidents on the A34 causing delays this evening (Thursday)
Police were called to the scene of the first accident, between the East and West Ilsley turn off, at 4.17pm following a collision involving a blue BMW and a white Audi A3.
A spokeswoman for Thames Valley Police, Rhianne Pope, said that although the collision was damage only, the accident had been made worse as three other vehicles had collided in the wake of the accident.
She added that although the road was not closed, traffic was backing up while recovery work was being carried out.
No one is reported to have been injured.
Another accident has been reported on the A34 Newbury bypass, close to the Speen turn off.
Police have said that two vehicles, a VW Polo and a BMW, were in collision in the outside lane. Traffic is slowing in the area as recovery vehicles move them off the carriageway.
