Road closed as lorry overturns on roundabout

Northamptonshire Police said a lorry overturned on the A45 near Wellingborough

A main road is expected to remain shut for 24 hours after a lorry overturned at a roundabout.

Northamptonshire Police said they were called to the incident on the A45 at the Wilby Way roundabout in Wellingborough at about 06.30 BST.

A spokesperson for the force said the highways team had put a road closure in place on the A45 eastbound from the Barnes Meadow interchange, "to divert traffic via the A428".

Closures have been in place on the A45 eastbound and the A509 eastbound from the roundabout with the A5128 Northampton Road.

The force said that the road could take up to 24 hours to be cleared, as it needed to be repaired and resurfaced.

The driver of the lorry was not seriously injured in the collision, police confirmed.

Drivers are advised to follow diversions and the westbound carriageway will remain open, the police said.
