M1 pictures show 'serious' crash at junction 22

Highways officials have released pictures of the aftermath of a "serious" crash on the M1.

The M1 Northbound at J22 was closed for several hours after a serious collision took place at 11pm on October 20.

A full closure was put in place on the motorway as Leicester Fire and Rescue Service and Leicestershire Police attended the collision.

Highways England, in a post on Twitter, said: "The #M1 northbound #J22 (#A511 #Ashby #Coalville) to #J23 (#A512 #Loughborough #Shepshed) is currently CLOSED due to a serious collision."

Diversion routes were put in place after the incident and long delays were also reported.

The junction was reopened at around 3am on October 21.

Highways England added: "The full Closure at J22 M1 has now been removed. A lane 1 closure will remain in place until tonight due to a section of carriageway requiring resurfacing.

This repair will take place after 2000hrs tonight the 21st October."
