    The westbound carriageway has been closed to allow for recovery and to ensure the safety of those involved, as well as attending crews.

    Motorists are being urged to avoid the area if possible and to expect delays on approach while the incident is dealt with.

    There is currently no confirmation on how long the closure will remain in place.
