The incident involved a number of HGVs on the M180 westbound between junction two and junction one near Hatfield and Sandtoft on the South Yorkshire/North Lincolnshire border.

The road is currently closed, with South Yorkshire Police saying the clean-up is likely to take a while.

The force is asking motorists to avoid the area using the diversion in place by following the solid diamond on road signs.

The company behind North Yorkshire’s new multi-billion pound polyhalite fertiliser mine has unveiled the first of its 1,800-tonne tunnel boring machines which are set to dig an underground mineral transportation tunnel between Whitby and Teesside.

A big engineering project requires big machines - and they don't come much bigger than the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) which is now making its way from Germany.

Operating 250m below the ground, the gargantuan gadget will create a 23-mile tunnel from Whitby to Redcar.

It's 225m long and it's far too big to be shipped over whole, so it's been taken apart in Germany and reassembled here.

Sirius Minerals say once the TBM's tunnel is complete, the passage will transport twenty million tonnes of polyhalite ore a year from North Yorkshire to Teesside, from where it'll be sent all over the world.

A crash involving a number of lorries on the M180 has closed the motorway near Hatfield and Sandtoft.

The crash between junction two and junction one has closed the road with a diversion in place, according to Highways England.

A cold day with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces this morning, sunny spells and scattered wintry showers.

Watch my full forecast here:

A fly-past to mark the anniversary of a fatal plane crash in a Sheffield park will take place after a campaign by local TV presenter Dan Walker, it's been announced.

The US bomber came down almost 75 years ago during World War Two in Endcliffe Park, killing all 10 airmen on board.

For many decades, Sheffield man Tony Foulds has helped maintain a memorial to the dead airmen in the park:

Mr Foulds, who was aged eight at the time, was playing in the park when he saw the plane come down.

Several aircraft from the US Air Force and the RAF, including F15 jets, Ospreys, a Dakota and Typhoons, will be among those to get involved during the fly-past which is planned for next month.

Plans to charge owners of high-polluting vehicles a fee to drive into parts of Leeds have been approved.

Leeds City Council will receive £29m in government funding to implement the clean air charging zone.

Only heavy goods vehicles, buses, coaches, taxis and private hire vehicles which don't meet the council's minimum emissions standards will be charged daily for driving within the zone.

There'll be a charge of £50 for HGVs, buses and coaches and £12.50 for taxis.

The scheme aims to reduce air pollution in the city by encouraging businesses to use cleaner, less polluting vehicles.

It's being implemented after the government instructed Leeds City Council to tackle air pollution in the city as soon as possible.

It found some areas of the city "would likely fail legal air quality levels by 2020".

Mark Fell's A Stitch Outside Time is made up of noises responding to the movement and location of the train.

It's currently being used on the line between London and Shoeburyness in Essex, with sounds being triggered by 93 "nodes" along the route.

Rail firm C2C said it hoped the app would "brighten up the morning commute" for passengers.

Mr Fell said: "The composition was inspired by the tala rhythm found in Indian classical music."

"Sound synthesis and pattern-generating systems mean listeners will never hear the same piece of music twice," he added.

Arrests have been made after a bus company was forced to change its routes around Hull because of attacks on its vehicles.

Residents say stones and bricks have been thrown in a series of attacks on Stagecoach buses around the city's Orchard Park estate.

Diana Johnson, the Labour MP for Hull North, is calling on the authorities to do more to crack down on anti-social behaviour in the area.

She says: "The police and local authorities have got to get a grip of it and we've got to make sure the youths doing this on Orchard Park are dealt with.

"They can't be allowed to get away with this type of behaviour."

Humberside Police says its working hard to stop anti-social behaviour and ensure safe public transport.
