Overview
- National Highways says the M1 northbound between Junctions 14 and 15 is shut after a serious collision, with diversions in place and the closure expected to last into the night.
- The M20 eastbound remains closed from Junctions 8 to 9 after a single‑vehicle crash caused a large oil spill, with a man taken to hospital and clean‑up and barrier repairs under way.
- Greater Manchester Police report serious injuries in a multi‑vehicle crash that has closed the M61 northbound between Junctions 5 and 6, with a full diversion and emergency services on scene.
- All lanes have reopened on the M25 anticlockwise between Junctions 28 and 27 after an early‑morning multi‑vehicle collision, though commuters earlier faced queues of eight to nine miles and delays of up to 90 minutes.
- Earlier flooding and obstructions on the M62 and M1, plus separate breakdown and collision disruptions on routes including the M18 and M4 near Cardiff, have largely been cleared following live responses by highways and police teams.
