At 4.14pm, Higways England tweeted: “The M18 s/bound is being fully closed, J5 - J4, due to an accident. It is no longer closed just at J5.”

Minutes later, a follow-up tweet confirmed there was an overturned vehicle.

The M180 westbound was also closed from junction two towards the M18 while emergency services dealt with the incidents.

By 4.30am this morning, both roads had re-opened.
