The road has completely shut on the westbound carriageway, leaving a long diversion for motorists trying to get north from the M11. The diversion takes people along the A428.

A spokesman for Cambridgeshire police said: " At 10.36am Police were called to a Road Traffic Collision on the A14 at Bar Hill.

"One Car and multiple lorries are involved. There are 4 lorries believed to be involved.

"There is currently 1 lane open and officers are hoping to have a second lane opened shortly."
