Major delays are to be expected this morning after a serious accident on the A350 between Melksham and Lacock.

The road was closed shortly after 6am this morning, after a dark blue Toyota Avensis collided head-on with a silver Rover, and is expected to remain closed for several hours.

The accident occurred between Mons Lane in Lacock and Westlands Lane in Beanacre, and police are still on the scene recovering the debris scattered across the road.

Heavy congestion is expected in the area, with drivers advised to find alternative routes.
