At least two vehicles were involved in the shunt at just before 9am where the A509 joins the carriageway heading westbound towards Northampton.

National Highways traffic sensors show queues for about four miles back towards Rushden.

Drivers thinking of using the A4500 as an alternative route will be stymied by a road closure at Wilby for resurfacing work from 9.30am on Monday.
