One of the more unusual causes of traffic problems held up motorists in Northamptonshire this morning - sheep on the road.
There were reports of the M1 being blocked southbound between junction 15 at the A45, and junction 14 at Milton Keynes, because the animals had escaped onto the carriageway.
Delays were still being reported at 8.30am.
And it wasn’t the only sheep-related drama in the county this weekend.
Yesterday, fire crews were called to rescue a sheep stuck in mud in Weston Mill Lane, Weston Favell, Northampton at 3.50pm.
