Emergency services were called to the M1 northbound last night (3rd October) following reports that a tanker had overturned after a crash.

A Northamptonshire Police spokesperson said they were dealing with the incident at around 10.45pm, and that junctions 14-16 were closed.

That was whilst emergency services were on the scene.

Junction 14 has since reopened, but junctions 15-16 are still closed.

A National Highways spokesperson says a "complex recovery operation is ongoing".
