A stretch of motorway has been closed following a serious collision, police said.

A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said the M1 was closed in both directions between junctions 24 and 25, near Long Eaton, after a crash on the southbound carriageway.

It was not immediately clear whether anyone was seriously hurt in the incident and police were unable to say how many vehicles were involved.

The spokesman said: "At this point all we can say is there has been a serious road traffic collision and officers are currently on the scene."
