A statement reads: “Road users are advised to allow extra time for their journeys in this morning’s rush hour due to a serious collision on the M1 in Nottinghamshire.

“The police-led incident has closed the southbound carriageway between junctions 26 and 25 and is expected to remain closed throughout the day for investigation work to take place.”

National Highways’ Duty Operations Manager for the East Midlands, Matthew Catto, said: “Due to the volume of traffic we would normally expect on the M1 during the morning rush hour we expect severe delays in the area and also on local roads as people follow the diversion. We advise road users to plan their journeys in advance and allow extra time.”
