A male individual has passed away and three others sustained injuries after a vehicle flipped over on the M4 highway.
On Sunday, the motorway was shut down in both directions while authorities handled an event on the eastbound side near the Cranford Park interchange in west London at 11:39am.

The Metropolitan Police representative stated: “We are requesting for individuals who may have witnessed the incident or have dashcam recordings to come forward, as we investigate a deadly crash on the M4 in west London.”
