The Belfast-bound lanes of the M1 have re-opened to traffic following a ‘serious collision’ earlier this morning. However, police say the Lisburn-bound lanes remain closed while police are at the scene. The motorway had been closed in both directions on Sunday morning up until lunchtime.

In a statement earlier this morning, the PSNI said: “The M1 has been closed in both directions.

The M1 motorway has been closed in both directions following a ‘serious collision’ just before 7am this morning

“City-bound traffic is being diverted at junction 6 (Saintfield Road) and Lisburn bound traffic at between junction 3 (Blacks Road) following a serious collision reported just before 7am this morning.

“The M1 is likely to be closed for some time and motorists are advised to take an alternative route.”
