Motorists are being warned to expect delays on the M69 after a crash on the wet motorway.
At about 11.10am today Leicestershire police tweeted to motorists: "We have had a number of reports of flooding as a result of the rain. There is standing water on parts of the M69 - so please drive carefully."
Just two minutes later the Highways Agency tweeted that there had been a crash on the northbound carriageway between junction two and the M1.
Two lanes of the motorway are currently closed, leading to long tailbacks.
The crash is not believed to have resulted in serious injuries.
