M1 southbound closure likely to disrupt rush hour
The M1 is currently closed southbound from its junction J18 (Rugby) to J16 (Northampton) with delays of at least 30 minutes covering several miles of the southbound carriageway.
The closure is due to a serious road traffic collision last night involving a number of HGVs.
Highways England has resources deployed working to assist Northants Police who lead the response to this incident.
Due to the location of the collision (at M1 J17) the M45 eastbound to the M1 has been closed from its junction of the B4429 near Dunchurch.
Diversions are in place.
