Drivers should expect delays on the A1 this morning after a serious collision near Boroughbridge.

North Yorkshire Police said the incident happened on the southbound carriageway at around 2.20am.

The force said the southbound carriageway of the A1(M) is currently closed between junction 48 (Boroughbridge) and junction 47 (Allerton Park) and is expected to be for some time.

However, the northbound carriageway has now reopened.

National Highways has advised drivers to allow more time for journeys as the southbound carriageway is expected to be closed throughout the morning.

A spokesperson said:

“The southbound carriageway is expected to remain closed beyond the morning’s peak travel period as emergency services and National Highways traffic officers remain at the scene of the incident, which happened at around 2.20am. 
“Collision investigations are currently taking place, with recovery and repairs also expected throughout the morning following an oil spill and repairs needed to the central barrier. 
“There are currently delays of more than 60 minutes on the southbound carriageway.”


A diversion is in place along the A168, which runs parallel to the A1(M).
