National Highways say the restrictions will be put back in place after the festive period ends.

One lane is to remain closed while "heavy damage" to barriers is repaired.

Police believe the driver lost control of the tanker which swerved into a field.

Two lorries are involved in a collision with all three main emergency services attending.

Police say the car was travelling on the A1 at 110mph (177 km/h) on front tyres that were "dangerously worn".
