A fatal lorry crash on the A1 will mean a lane closure on the southbound carriageway for several weeks, National Highways says.

The crash on Friday involved an HGV leaving the carriageway, killing the driver, in his 40s.

It happened on between the A47 at Wansford and Chesterton at the A605 near Peterborough.

National Highways posted: “This lane closure will likely remain in place for some weeks as extensive repairs are carried out following heavy damage from the lorry that crashed through the barrier.”
