Overview
- A serious multi‑vehicle collision forced the closure of the A52 westbound between the M1 Junction 25 and the A5111 while the scene is examined.
- Derbyshire Police, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service, East Midlands Ambulance Service and an air ambulance are attending the incident and supporting the investigation.
- The eastbound carriageway has reopened but the westbound remains shut for collision investigation work that could keep the road closed for several hours.
- National Highways has put in place a hollow‑diamond diversion using the M1, A50, A6 and A5111 and has told drivers to allow extra travel time or re‑route or delay journeys.
- Traffic caught inside the closure is being turned around and released from the rear of queues and local delays are expected while emergency services and investigators complete their work.
