A1 re-opened following number of fatalities in '˜horrific' early morning crash
The northbound carriageway of the road has been shut between Stamford and Grantham since the collision between a lorry and a car at 1am.
The road had been shut in both directions, but the southbound side was opened earlier this afternoon. However, Highways England said emergency repairs were needed on the road following the tragedy.
The northbound side was re-opened just before 5pm.

“Two people who were travelling in the lorry have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.”
Supt Phil Vickers, of Lincolnshire police, tweeted: “Horrific scene faced by Emergency Services on the A1 in the early hours this morning.”
