The lorry flipped at about 9am this morning (Tuesday) between junctions 21A and 22 clockwise at London Colney.

Highways England and emergency services are currently at the scene dealing with the incident.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time for their journey as there are significant delays in the area. There is one lane open, but three lanes remain closed.
