Multiple Serious Collisions Close A38, M1, A50 Roads Midlands

Commuters in and around Leicester and Derbyshire are experiencing significant travel disruptions due to a combination of roadworks, accidents, and road closures. Leicester City Council is carrying out major junction improvements and traffic calming measures on key roads like the A50/FiveWays and Narborough Road, which have led to lane closures and diversions. Additionally, recent accidents, including an overturned car on the A6 and a collision on the A47, have caused further delays. In Derbyshire, a serious multi-vehicle collision on the northbound A38 between the A610 and A61 has led to a full closure, with emergency services including the air ambulance on site and traffic diversions in place. Nearby roads such as the A610 are also congested as motorists seek alternatives. Nottinghamshire's M1 northbound carriageway between junctions 25 and 26 was closed following a serious crash, with police and fire services advising drivers to avoid the area to reduce further congestion.
