Recovery workers have now removed the vehicle which was blocking the lane leading to the motorway in Sheffield.

But another vehicle break down has forced one lane of the A38 northbound in Derbyshire – between the junctions with the A61 Alfreton and the M1 to shut.

Drivers have been warned of delays until 9.30am this morning.
