Live updates as A14 crash causes jams on Leicestershire roads

There are delays on several main roads in the south of Leicestershire this morning after a crash in Northamptonshire shut the westbound A14. The crash happened just south of Welford and a six-mile stretch from Welford to the Catthorpe Interchange is closed. National Highways described it as a "serious collision involving a lorry and a car." Some of the westbound traffic is diverting onto the A4304 through Husbands Bosworth, North Kilworth and other Leicestershire villages.

The A426 Rugby Road from Lutterworth to the A5 near Shawell is very busy, with a queue more than a mile long. Meanwhile, there has been a collision on Walcote Road between Walcote and South Kilworth, which is currently closed in both directions. Leicestershire Police said in a post on X at 5.50am today: "Please avoid the area and updates will follow."
