M1 Fire Forces Major Closure

A major fire on the M1 northbound has shut down all lanes around junction 19 near Catthorpe Interchange, causing massive delays stretching toward junction 20 at Lutterworth. Six fire engines and two water carriers, aided by neighboring services, are battling the blaze involving a car transporter. Drivers attempting to enter the M1 from the A14 are blocked, and those already on the road are urged to find alternative routes. The closure, first reported after 5 PM, remains in effect as National Highways warns of extensive disruptions—expect delays for hours.
