A1: Video shows water shooting into air on road

Police have closed the A1 in Nottinghamshire due to a burst water pipe.

The road, just before Elkesley, has been shut with officers saying the burst main is "causing hazardous driving conditions".

Nottinghamshire Police officers were called to the scene at about 13:10 GMT on Thursday.

Traffic is being diverted and motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible while repairs take place.

Anglian Water are at the scene, with delays of nearly an hour above the normal journey times, National Highways added.
