A carriageway of the A50 in Derbyshire has reopened and delays have cleared after a serious crash.

The eastbound side, heading towards the M1, between junction two at Thulston and junction one at Sawley, was shut after a collision at 04:45 BST.

Highways England had warned people leaving Download Festival in nearby Castle Donington, to be aware of it.

The authority said shortly after 13:00 the road had reopened and "there are no significant residual delays".
