Police, paramedics and fire crews were called to the scene between J4 at Uxbridge and J3 A312 The Parkway shortly before 2pm.

An air ambulance rushed several people to hospital, including a schoolgirl, 10, with what cops said are life threatening injuries.

Four others are also believed to be hurt following the “serious” collision on the eastbound carriageway.

It sparked long delays on the major motorway while investigators collected evidence.

Andy, who was travelling along the road at the time, tweeted: “Been sat on the M4 for 45 minutes due to an accident, all lanes closed.

“Helicopter just landed on the other carriageway. People everywhere.”

National Highways later warned motorists to expect hold-ups of at least an hour.

A spokesperson for the Met Police said: “At 1.43pm on Sunday, May 1, police were called following a road traffic collision involving four vehicles close to junction three of the M4 in West Drayton.
