Long Motorway Delays Expected This Evening On The M1

Local road users who are heading south this evening are being urged to plan an additional route and allow for long delays, following an incident on the M1 this morning.

Derbyshire Constabulary are currently investigating the death of a woman in Borrowash, after being called to an address in the village to reports that a woman had been injured.

Police were alerted to the incident at about 11am this morning by a man who had also been injured. He is now receiving treatment in hospital.

The incidents may be linked to a collision involving a vehicle and a pedestrian on the southbound side of the M1 near Trowell services, which happened at about 11.30am.

Both carriageways of the motorway in that area are closed and are likely to be for some time.

The investigations are in their early stages and no more information is available at this time.
