M1 Northbound SHUT after Massive Crash between Milton Keynes and Northampton
Chaos reigns on the M1 northbound, which is completely closed between Junction 14 (Milton Keynes) and Junction 15 (Northampton) following a serious crash. Emergency crews from Northamptonshire Police and National Highways Traffic Officers are battling the mayhem on-site.
The road closure is expected to last well into the night. Motorists should gear up for major delays.
