“The driver of an HGV has lost control and the vehicle, a Volvo, has come to rest on its side.

“There are no reports of anyone seriously injured.

“The road is expected to be closed for some time while the vehicle is recovered.” Earlier today eyewitnesses reported queues for vehicles between Barrowby and Sedgebrook. One told LincsOnline a lorry was involved in the incident and has careered off the road, while another confirmed a recovery vehicle was on the scene.

Police were currently directing traffic at the time.

The volume of traffic on this stretch of road is expected to be particularly busy this afternoon with football fans making their way to Nottingham for the Forest versus Manchester City match.
