A stretch of the M1 has been shut in Bedfordshire after a serious crash involving two lorries, a van and three cars.
Drivers have been caught in a road closure near Luton Airport after a multi-vehicle collision on the northbound carriageway.

It involved two trucks, a van and three cars, an Inrix traffic alert says.

All emergency services are on the scene and traffic officers are attending to help move trapped vehicles within the closure.
National Highways told motorists to allow extra journey time due to the collision.
National Highways said: ‘Traffic which is caught within the closure will be turned around from the rear of the queue & directed off the motorway at J11. Please await instruction.’
Queuing traffic is stretching back past junction 10 for Luton Airport.
We approached Bedfordshire Police and the ambulance service for a comment.
