The Lincolnshire police accident investigation is complete and the ‘complex recovery’ of the vehicles involved and carriageway repairs meant the road remained closed until this afternoon.
Lincolnshire police said: “The road is now fully open following the collision this morning.
“Our sincere thanks to the public for your patience and to our partners for the coordinated effort to respond to this incident.”
