Central East Midlands

A missing woman from Bakewell in Derbyshire has been found.

Janet Bisgrove was reported missing last night. She's now receiving medical treatment in hospital.

There are reports of queueing traffic due to an accident on the M1 Northbound in Leicestershire between J22 (Coalville) and J23.

A police officer who brought an unconscious mother's car to a halt by ramming it into a motorway safety barrier has been commended by his Chief Constable. PC Pattison was forced to intervene to save the woman, and a young child who was in the back seat, after seeing her "staring at the roof" of her vehicle with her head thrown back.

The "tactical contact" near East Midlands Airport yesterday was authorised after officers were alerted by other motorists who had seen the Peugeot collide with the central reservation on the nearby A42. Leicestershire Chief Constable Simon Cole said:

Two lanes are closed and there's queueing traffic due to an accident. Two lorries involved in the incident on the M6 Southbound between J10 A454 / B4464 (Wolverhampton / Walsall) and J9 A461 (Wednesbury).
