A Met Office yellow weather warning for fog was put in place, covering much of Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire

Several crashes have been reported in Lincolnshire amid foggy driving conditions, police said.

A weather warning runs until 10:00 GMT for fog, with drivers warned to keep plenty of distance between vehicles.

South Yorkshire's Safer Roads Partnership also told people to allow extra time for travel, with the yellow warning covering much of the county.

"Look out for each other - especially cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders," it said.

The Met Office reminded drivers to make sure their fog lights were working properly before setting off.
