One side of a major motorway is shut after water bottles came off a lorry and spilled across the carriageway after a collision.
The M1 is shut southbound at Junction 21 for Leicester. A lorry was involved in a crash and water bottles are spread all over the road.
Traffic is being diverted off and back on via the junction’s sliproads, but there are 90-minute delays and about eight miles of queuing traffic.
