The A1 was closed northbound near Peterborough after a crash caused a lorry to flip on its side.

It was shut between junction 17 for Peterborough Services and the Oundle Road turn-off at Chesterton, following the incident at about 04:45 BST.

National Highways said it had "deployed resources to assist with the clean up and traffic management", with police adding that the "recovery [was] likely to take some time".

The road re-opened at about 08:00.
