According to traffic monitoring site Inrix, there are two incidents currently causing delays on the M1 in Derbyshire.

The first involves a broken down vehicle on the northbound route between J30 and J31. One lane is currently closed between these junctions and traffic is queueing.

The second has also taken place on the M1 northbound, with another broken down car between J29A and J30.

Traffic is building in two spots on the M1.

Again, a lane closure is in place to allow for recovery, and this is causing very slow traffic in the area.

There is currently no indication as to when conditions will return to normal on the motorway.
