Emergency services are in attendance, along with traffic officers from National Highways.

Pictures show a large response on the carriageway, with one lorry crashed into the inside lane barrier.

The other HGV was seen straddling lanes 2 and 3. Three lanes have since reopened. The inside lane remains closed.

It is not yet know if anyone has been injured.

This is a developing story. More to follow.
