Highways England said shortly after 6.30pm that officers were responding to two 'live lane breakdowns' on the motorway, between junctions 33 and 32, and junctions 31 and 30 southbound.

The warning came after drivers in Sheffield were urged to only travel if 'absolutely necessary' on Tuesday, with heavy snow forecast early tomorrow.
