Two vehicles rescued after double break down on M1

Traffic officers say they have now rescued a lorry and a van which broke down on the M1 and caused very slow traffic.

Drivers on the motorway were told to take care after a van and lorry came to a halt on junction 33 Catcliffe minutes after each other.

Highways England warned to “take care on approach” and AA reported heavy traffic as a result.

They now say the scene is clear and all lanes are now open.
