AN accident caused delays on two of the major routes into Hereford earlier today.

It is understood a car and a lorry were in collision close to the Ross Road and Holme Lacy Road junction at lunchtime.

Traffic built up along the A49, near St Martin's Church, and on the B4399,  but it's now understood the road is cleared and queues are back to normal levels.

5pm on Friday, February 5: Traffic has returned to normal heading out of Hereford on the Ross Road.

But traffic from the south is queuing on the Ross Road into the city, starting around the start of the 30mph speed limit.
