The crash, which was reported at about 06:15 BST, caused long delays for motorists on the A1

Police warned of "severe delays" on the A1 in Lincolnshire after a multi-vehicle crash.

National Highways said traffic had been stopped in both directions between the B668 and the A151 near Colsterworth, with the fire brigade also attending.

A "number of road traffic collisions" were reported to Lincolnshire Police with vehicles caught up in the queues.

The initial crash was reported at about 06:15 BST and police advised drivers to avoid the area if possible.

Both sides were partially reopened at 09:40, with barrier damage causing lane closures on both sides of the road.

"There are severe delays between Grantham and Colsterworth," the force said.
