M1 shut northbound for work after crash
Workers have carried out emergency resurfacing work on the M1 after a crash between a lorry and car led to a fuel leak
- Published
The M1 in Derbyshire was closed for emergency repairs after a crash caused a fuel spillage on the road.
National Highways initially closed two lanes of the motorway from junction 29A near Chesterfield after a collision between a lorry and a car at 16:15 GMT on Wednesday.
All three lanes of the motorway were then closed northbound from junction 29A from about 05:00 on Thursday for emergency resurfacing work to be carried out.
Vehicles were diverted off the motorway via slip roads to avoid the area, leading to lengthy tailbacks on the M1.
There are delays on the M1 as a result
