Second crash on M1 in Derbyshire today causes further delays – as traffic builds along route

Traffic monitoring site Inrix has reported an accident on the M1 northbound – with one lane currently closed.

The incident occurred between J29, which connects the route to the A617 between Chesterfield and Mansfield, and J29A, which links the M1 to Bolsover and Markham Vale.

Traffic is queuing on the route, and National Highways hope that normal conditions will return by 3.00pm.
