M1 motorway

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.

About four miles of congestion had been reported following the collision, National Highways says.

The man, in his 20s, died at the scene of the crash and a car driver has been arrested, police say.

A man found with cans of beer in the car blew almost twice the legal limit, police say.

A transport group says there could be more than 80,000 more journeys a week at the junction in 2035.

A 67-year-old man was hit by a car as he attempted to recover ladders from the motorway, police say.

Two lanes heading southbound on the M1 are closed and drivers are told to expect delays.
