TRAFFIC was brought to a standstill this afternoon following a crash on the M1 that blocked one carriageway.
The collision took place around 1.15pm between junction 24 and 25 southbound, near Long Eaton, involving a car and a four by four.
The car was flipped onto its roof; no-one was trapped inside.
Two people were treated by air ambulance before being taken to hospital by helicopter.
Firefighters left just after 13:46 leaving Nottinghamshire Police and the Highways Agency still in attendance.
Since then two lanes have been opened on the M1.
The incident has led to further delays between junctions 25 and 26 southbound of up to 30 minutes.
Normal traffic conditions are expected to resume by 4pm.
