The A303 has been closed following a "serious" crash this evening.

The road is closed in both directions from its junction with the A350 Chicklade to the A36 Deptford. 

Emergency services were called to the scene at around 5pm.

A post on the Amesbury Police Facebook page said: “We are currently dealing with a serious collision on the A303 eastbound near to the A350 junction.

“As a result, a closure is being put in place while the incident is dealt with alongside colleagues from the ambulance service.

"This is likely to remain in place for some time, so please avoid the area and seek an alternative route."
