M1 motorway reopens after car fire

A section of the M1 motorway has fully reopened following a vehicle fire.

National Highways said fire crews were at the scene shortly after 10:40 BST on Thursday on the southbound side between junctions 29 and 28 near the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire border.

The motorway reopened an hour later with delays on the approach, it added.

A traffic camera from the scene showed a firefighter tackling the blaze earlier.
