A police spokesman said: “A full road closure will be put on the A14 from Ellington. Brampton Hut will be closed for some time.”

The closure has now been extended to Thrapston in Northamptonshire as many longer and wider vehicles are unable to use local routes.

Delays of over one hour 45 minutes are reported.

Traffic is heavy on all surrounding routes including the A1, A428 and A1198.

Motorists are advised to avoid.

Motorists face a 22-mile diversion - however that diversion now takes them to the scene of the two lorry collision.
