The southbound carriageway was reduced to one lane for a time and the northbound carriageway was also partly closed for safety reasons.

All lanes are now back open on the northbound carriageway but the southbound side is still reduced to two lanes only.

The Highways Agency say that long delays are likely to continue for some time.

There are not thought to be any serious injuries as a result of the collision.
