A crane and clear-up crews are on the scene clearing the vehicles and debris from the collision with drivers urged to follow the solid square diversion route symbol.
A lorry has broken down on the #A453 northbound blocking 1 lane. This is the diversion route for the #M1 northbound between J23A and J24 closure. We have sent a recovery crew out to get it cleared as soon as possible.
