Police say a woman and a man were both taken to hospital with serious injuries.

A serious collision follows an earlier closure on the motorway in a neighbouring county.

Action is taken to deal with any "unnecessary disruption" that could be caused, a police force says.

Kieran Humphreys, 33, also denies charges of cruelty and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

The state-of-the-art facility includes a 25m pool and a learner pool with moveable floor.

National Highways says all lanes have fully reopened and it thanked drivers for their patience.

The 20-minute slots need to be pre-booked, the authority says.

Work is taking place over the next two years.
