Traffic was held after the smash on the anticlockwise carriageway between junction J17 (Rickmansworth) and J16/M40 and J1A (Uxbridge).
Motorists were backed up in queues stretching on for miles.
Diversion routes were put in place briefly when the carriageway was closed.
Traffic has since been released anticlockwise, but two lanes out of four remain closed for recovery.
The smash happened around ten miles north of Heathrow Airport.
Thames Valley Police said three lorries were involved and there were no significant injuries.
