M1 traffic LIVE: Busy motorway closed near Luton airport after 'oil spill'

A multi-vehicle crash on the southbound M1 near Luton Airport resulted in an oil spill and forced police to close the motorway between junctions 11 and 11A. The incident occurred around 8:45 PM, involving an overturned HGV, causing significant damage to barriers and fencing. National Highways confirmed that recovery operations were completed, but cleanup efforts continue. The motorway remains closed with a temporary diversion in place, restricted to vehicles under 7.5 tonnes. Emergency services, including Bedfordshire Police, are still present at the scene. The nearby Luton Airport remains operational despite the disruption.

It focuses on the technical aspects of the incident, the involvement of emergency services, and the logistical impact on drivers. There is no overt ideological framing or sl抗
