PART of the A38 was closed off for about an hour after a van overturned in the carriageway. Police said at least 40 metres of the central barrier was damaged during the incident, which happened on the southbound carriageway, between Ripley and Coxbench, on Sunday at about 1.50pm.
A spokeswoman for Derbyshire police said the whole of the southbound carriageway was closed and parts of the northbound were disrupted while the incident was dealt with.
She said the man driving the van was checked over by paramedics but it is thought his injuries were minor.
