A main road in Nottinghamshire has partially reopened following a lorry fire.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to the vehicle fire on the northbound carriageway of the A1 near Carlton-on-Trent at about 07:25 BST.

National Highways said the northbound side of the road had been shut between the Great North Road at North Muskham and the Carlton-on-Trent junction.

One lane reopened at about 10:00 as recovery and clear up work continued on the other lane, with three miles of tailbacks reported by National Highways.

One lane of two was also closed southbound due to the fire.
