Second crash on M1 through Northamptonshire causing long tailbacks
Earlier today two lanes of the M1 southbound between junctions 15a and 15 had to be closed after a crash.
The collision caused serious tailbacks in both directions.
But now Highways England is reporting that a second crash involving a number of vehicles occurred on the northbound carriageway at around 4.30pm and shut off three lanes of the motorway.
