DRIVERS are being advised to avoid the A1 north of Peterborough, in Cambridgeshire, after two separate incidents involving lorries falling on their sides.

The first incident occurred on the south bound carriageway on the A1 in Wittering, Cambridgeshire.

The second lorry fell on the A1 near Carpenters Lodge and contained 20 tons of furniture so police expect it to take some time to clear.

Drivers are being asked to find an alternative route if possible.
