A crash has forced the partial closure of a motorway in South Yorkshire.

National Highways said the "serious collision" happened on Monday afternoon on the M18/M180 roundabout near Stainforth, Doncaster.

As a result, the eastbound M180 carriageway between the M18 and junction 2 for Belton was closed. The M18 junction 5 southbound exit was also closed, traffic officers said, with the northern section of the junction 5 roundabout shut.

A National Highways spokesperson said: "If this closure impacts on your planned route, please allow extra journey time.

"Plan ahead, you may wish to re-route or even delay your journey."

South Yorkshire Police has been approached for more information.
