The Ford Transit van was taken to the side of the road at around 7.30am after breaking down between junction 55 and the Sproughton interchange.

A rolling roadblock was put in place while recovery took place on the westbound carriageway of the road but has since been lifted and traffic allowed to ease.

Earlier, at 7.25am, two cars collided on the eastbound carriageway at Risby. Both vehicles were quickly recovered and no one was injured in the crash.
