M1 closed after lorry sheds load

The M1 motorway has been closed this afternoon after a lorry shed its load.

The northbound between Junctions 33 (Catcliffe) and 35 (Thorpe Hesley), was shut at 1.30pm because of a shed load of food tins and an accident.

Emergency services are working to reopen the road but motorists are warned of queuing traffic.
