A spokesman said: "Due to the severity of the incident a full collision investigation will be required and therefore the road will be closed for a protracted period of time."

A diversion has been set up for traffic heading towards the M1, using the a509 and A428 Bedford Road towards Northampton while crash investigation work continues.

Local traffic is able to rejoin the A45 westbound at the Billing junction.
