A crash involving a lorry is causing delays for motorists on a major county route.

The westbound carriageway of the A436 is partially blocked after the crash earlier this morning.

The incident is between Hilcot Turnoff at Kilkenny and the A435 in Seven Springs.

The road was still closed in both directions at 5.30pm.

Traffic information provider Inrix is reporting: "A lorry is reportedly stuck in mud which is delaying recovery work."

Traffic between Andoversford and the Air Balloon Roundabout is affected.

Gloucestershire Live understands that a police car is stopping traffic heading up towards the A40.
