Rothwell Road, Northfield Avenue and Rockingham Road are all gridlocked as drivers seek an alternative route through the town.

Two cars and two lorries were involved in the smash at just before 9am. A woman was taken to hospital with leg injuries after being freed from one of the cars.

Crews from Kettering, Corby and Northampton were at the scene alongside police and ambulance.

A Northamptonshire Fire Service spokesman said: "Please avoid the area as it is currently very busy."
