A Doncaster motorway was shut in both directions following an early morning police incident.

The A1(M) was blocked in both directions at the J38 A638 junction at Adwick-le-Street, Highways Yorkshire reported.

Drivers were warned of two miles of congestion on approach to the incident, with a Highways Yorkshire spokesperson adding: “This is due to a SYPOperations led incident.”

The road was later re-opened following the incident, which is understood to have taken place around 6am.

We have asked South Yorkshire Police for more details.
