Emergency services are at the scene of a serious collision on the A350 at Lacock, with the road currently closed in both directions.
A major Wiltshire A-road has been closed in both directions this morning following a serious collision. The A350 near Lacock is currently blocked as emergency services deal with the aftermath of the incident, which was reported shortly after 9am on Thursday, October 1.
Police have confirmed the closure and are advising motorists to seek alternative routes to avoid significant delays in the area. The road is a vital arterial route, and the closure has already led to heavy traffic congestion for those travelling through the region.
