Delays of over an hour on M1 after collision

The M1 currently has delays of at least 75 minutes from J21 to J20, covering several miles of the southbound carriageway.

The delays are due to a road traffic collision with lanes 2 and 3 closed and Highways England has resources deployed working hard to restore normal conditions as soon as possible.

A statement from Highways England said: “For traffic approaching the delays locally, you are advised to expect disruption with extra journey time and you may wish to re-route or delay your journey.

“If travelling towards this area from much farther afield, you may wish to change your strategic route, allow extra travel time and follow guidance from our on-road variable message signs and media.”
