There is major traffic disruption on the M1 near Moira following a lorry crash earlier this morning.

The heavy duty vehicle hit the central reservation between junction eight at Blaris and junction nine at Moira around 11:45am.

The outer lanes on either side of the barrier remain closed this afternoon

A second unrelated crash on the motorway Belfast-bound is causing further delays further up the motorway from county Armagh.

There are no reports of any injuries but police said disruption should be expected.
