M1 south closed at Tibshelf 5.15

Loads of blue lights. Am stuck in the blocked traffic.

2 trucks involved just past services. Lanes 1 & 2 blocked by wreckage. Major incident control on scene. No reopen time available as yet from ha to.

I went past about 30 mins ago ,didn’t see any signs warning southbound drivers ? Funny how no ones on the cb anymore they could of saved some time .

Been sat here 65 mins now. Hato advising another hour until lane 3 gets opened 7:15

At least you’re not actually involved in it. I know it’s frustrating and annoying to be delayed at the end of a long shift, but just think how different it could have been if you’d been five or ten minutes ahead of yourself.

Am stuck in it as well Coreysboy.Apparently hato have just said they are going to open the 4th lane to let some traffic through but unfortunately we are going nowhere. Driver still trapped in cab.

Where is albion with his record player? Or should that be drum?

They’ve done this but it’s about 4 vehicles behind me :frowning:
Thoughts to the injured parties.
I’m cool and relaxed. Don’t mind waiting as long as I’m safe and make it home tonight.

It’s the worst I’ve ever been stuck in and I ain’t even got in to pick up the truck yet. 3 hours and counting. Much longer and ill be begging for a spare Wolves ticket for this afternoons game as work will be aborted.

Trapped traffic being released past the scene now .
Incident still ongoing .
Broken down lorry lane 3
Hold tight you’ll be gone shortly. :slight_smile:

Drove past it about 30 mins ago. 3-4 burrows recovery vehicles on site, looks like some of the load is on the hard shoulder! Sure i saw a forklift there but that might be for the roadworks! 1 artic rear ended another artic. Drivers seat is pushed right up against the steering column quite a sickening site

Local radio says the drivers alive .

Only just though, according to some he was near deaths door, i was one of the lucky ones that was in the services, hato chucked us out so the recovery could get to the scene.

Still closed. I’m on the A61 outside Alfreton, trying to get back to the M1.

Ken.

Now open.

Too late for me, after diverting via Clay Cross and Alfreton, I’ve lost around 1.5 hours, and currently sat in Hopwood Park. Should have been nearer Monmouth.

Ken.

I went via Clay Cross too lost just over an hour! home now tho.

What’s hato?
