Derbyshire Police shared pictures of the scene online, and urged motorists to take heed of signs warning of surface water, stating they are there to ‘slow you down’.

"Lots of standing water causing issues this morning. This was a two vehicle collision after hitting standing water and then crash barrier. No injuries but lots of tailbacks,” a spokesperson for Derbyshire Police said.

South Yorkshire Police also closed a section of the M1 northbound, between Junction 31 and 32, due to ‘standing water’.
