M1 closed due to vehicle fire

Rolling road blocks are in place on the northbound and southbound carriageways, between junctions 32 for the M18 and 33 for the A630.

Severe delays are being caused as police direct traffic around the burning vehicle, which is sending plumes of smoke across the motorway.

Highways England is advising motorists to exit the M1 at J33 and take the A630 westbound towards Sheffield.

At the junction with the A57, take the A57 eastbound towards Aston and re-join the M1 southbound at J31.

Conditions are expected to return to normal between 1.30pm and 2.15pm.
