A motorway junction at Stevenage has reopened after a collision earlier today.

The exit slip roads at junction 7 of the A1(M) for Stevenage were blocked in both directions due to a collision and "medical emergency".

The northbound slip road reopened before 4pm, and the southbound slip road opened at around 5pm.

Hertfordshire Constabulary announced the incident on Twitter at 2.18pm.

The force said: "We're currently at the scene of a road traffic collision on the roundabout at junction 7 of the A1(M) in Stevenage.

"The exit slips are closed both north and southbound and people are advised to check their routes before they travel."
