- The A69 reopened after a prolonged HGV recovery and cleanup directed by Northumbria Police, following overnight closures in both directions.
- The M62 westbound between J22 and J21 remains shut for fuel-spill cleanup after a single-vehicle crash, with National Highways reporting significant spillage across all lanes and diversion routes in place.
- A multi-vehicle collision on the M25 between J25 and J24 led to an air ambulance landing, lengthy anti-clockwise closures, and delays reported up to 60 minutes, with clockwise lanes later reopened.
- The A1(M) southbound between J52 and J51 reopened after police investigation and debris clearance from a serious car–lorry crash that sent one person to James Cook University Hospital, while an M6 multi-vehicle incident near J21–J21A saw lanes reopen after earlier closures.
