Woman hospitalised after M1 crash in Hertfordshire

Police were called to the scene of a crash on the northbound M1, near junction 9 (Redbourn), just after 4.20pm yesterday (July 20).

Two people were assessed by the ambulance service, at the scene, and one was taken to Luton and Dunstable Hospital for further assessment and treatment.

The crash resulted in approximately eight miles of congestion and around 45 minutes of delays for motorists as lane closures were put in place.

The #M1^[1] northbound entry slip at J9 (#Redbourn^[2]) is closed due to a collision involving a campervan.

1 lane (of 4) is also closed within J9 to allow @HertsPolice^[3] to work safely at scene.
