Two men were taken to hospital after a vehicle pile-up on the M1 motorway.

A lorry, a motorcycle and up to ten cars were involved in the crash, just before the entry slip road at J2, A41 Fiveways Corner.

London Ambulance Service was called to the scene just after 6.45am. A man in his 60s was taken to St Mary's Hospital, and a man in his 20s was taken to Northwick Park Hospital.

The highway was closed at 7.30am from junction 4 at Edgware down to junction one with the A406 North Circular, and reopened at 8.40am.

One lane is closed past the scene, and traffic is slow.
