A46 closed in Warwickshire as extreme weather causes travel disruption
It's understood flooding on the road caused a collision
Last updated 6th Jan 2025
The A46 in Warwickshire is closed both ways this morning between the A452 (near Kenilworth) and the M40 (J15).
It's after a car is reported to have aquaplaned due to flooding in the area.
Warwickshire Police and National Highways traffic officers are on scene assisting with traffic management.
The closure is causing delays in the area with National Highways saying traffic is being diverted via local routes.
They're urging people heading back to work and school to allow for extra time for their journeys.
Meanwhile cold air will return and remain across the whole country from Monday onwards after a brief spell of milder conditions in southern areas, the Met Office said.
Deputy chief forecaster Mike Silverstone said:
"The low pressure that brought the snow and heavy rain in the south will move out to the east by Monday. This will allow a cold northerly flow to become established again for much of next week.
"This will bring further sleet, snow and hail showers to northern Scotland in particular, but possibly to some other areas, especially near western coasts, with a fair amount of dry and bright weather elsewhere.
"Temperatures will remain below average, with widespread frost and the threat of ice at times. Some areas, especially in the north, may struggle to get above freezing for several days."
Further weather warnings could be issued with the potential for some snow to fall in southern and central England and Wales around the middle of the week, Mr Silverstone said.
