The London Air Ambulance was called to a lorry crash that shut the M1 for hours and left a man hospitalised.
All lanes on the motorway were closed northbound between Cricklewood and Elstree from around 8.20pm yesterday (July 24) to 12.10am due to the collision.
National Highways said the closure was to allow the emergency services, including the Metropolitan Police, to deal with a crash involving a lorry.
This incident is now clear, and the #M1 in #GreaterLondon is now OPEN northbound between J1 #Cricklewood and J4 #Elstree.
