Motorway closed after accident
All six lanes of the M1 motorway have been closed between junctions 29 and 30 following an accident.
Four lorries were involved in the crash at 1935 BST on Monday between Barlborough and Chesterfield with one going through the central reservation.
One person has been released from a vehicle and taken to hospital. Three more people are also thought to have been injured.
The motorway is not expected to re-open until the early hours of Tuesday.

Just opened late this morning.
There was another accident this afternoon at the same spot. Obviously rubbernecking.

Found this on local BBC Site:

I know it caused chaos in our area from people diverting around it.
My thoughts are with the family of the driver
I saw the aftermath this afternoon with the barrier repair squads out ready to rebuild the armco. OK northbound with one lane closed, no queue but southbound with 2 lanes shut was a different matter!! - queues back to the M18 junction - qbout 12 miles or so.
When I returned from Leeds I came via M18/Bawtry/A1/A614. This route was much busier than normal.
Its when things like this happen you realise just how much we take the motorways for granted.

I must have just missed the accident southbound by minutes as I was through that area on Monday night around that time.
Returning back north on Tuesday morning was a different story. Got to Tibshelf around 0600 and it was stacked up from there. Took until 0730 to get on the slip road at J30 and then another 90 mins to run up the backroads and rejoin the A619 then up to J29. Got into Leeds at 1030 when it should have been 0730.
