A main road through the Cotswolds has been closed following a "serious" crash.

Police are currently at the scene of a crash on the A40 near Farmington.

A lorry and two cars were involved in the collision, which happened at around 5.15 am on Thursday, March 2.

One person has been taken to hospital as a result of the crash.

A spokesperson for South Western Ambulance Service said: "We were called at 5.17 am to a road traffic collision in the Northleach area.

"We sent two double-crewed land ambulances, a hazardous area response team and an operations officer.

"We conveyed one patient to the John Radcliffe Hospital.”

While emergency services remain at the scene there are closures in place between Burford and the junction with the A429 roundabout near Northleach.

These are likely to remain in place throughout the morning and motorists are advised to use alternative routes.

Anyone who witnessed the collision, or has dashcam footage, is asked to send this to Gloucestershire Constabulary by visiting the force's website and quoting incident 46 of March 2.
