Stagecoach has advised that buses are now running again in the area following road closures.

A spokesman said: "It will take around an hour for most buses to revert to something resembling the scheduled timetable. There may however be some routes which will take longer depending on their length of route and how far off schedule they are."

Witnesses to the collision or anyone with information, are asked to contact Northamptonshire Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 101 or call the Drivewatch Hotline on 0800 174615.
