M1 crash updates after lane closure leads to five-mile delays during rush hour

Latest traffic map

It's tough on the M1 this rush hour if you're trying to use the motorway to head north this evening, with long delays. Different agencies and traffic monitoring systems don't all agree, with National Highways tweeting that two lanes are shut, and Inrix saying that it's actually just one.

The traffic camera at J23 for Loughborough, where the incident appears to be, has been switched off, as often happens with incidents like this, so we can't confirm precisely what's happening at the moment.

Whatever it is, delays are long so if you can take another route it's worth considering if you're just about to leave work.
