It took quite a while to clear up the crash
Long diversions were put in place for traffic travelling northbound on the M1 between junction 38 for Haigh and junction 39 for Netherton, following the crash at around 6.30pm last night .
National Highways, which manages all the major roads in the region, said the incident involved a car and a van. It is thought the reason for the closure of the motorway so such a length of time was due to the barrier being repaired. The road eventually fully reopened at around 5am this morning. It tweeted: “The #M1 north was closed between J38 #Haigh and J39 #Netherton after a collision where a vehicle travelling southbound has gone through the central reservation barrier onto the northbound carriageway.”
