Emergency services deal with bad crash on A417

All three emergency services were called to the scene of a bad crash involving two vehicles on the A417 at Crickley Hill earlier, with a stretch of the road currently closed in both directions.

Gloucestershire Police say the collision was first reported to them at around 12:30pm, with the Fire Service needing to free three people trapped inside one of the vehicles.

Officers said it would "take some time" to clear debris on the road once they were free, but the road has now reopened, with some of those involved taken to hospital.

If you saw the crash and have not yet spoken to the police or you have dashcam footage either of the crash itself or its build up, officers ask you get in touch.
