EMERGENCY services were at the scene of a two-vehicle crash on the A338 northbound this afternoon.

Police were called at 12.47pm to the incident between Cooper Dean and Blackwater. They closed the second lane while they dealt with the crash, which was reported to be a shunt between the two vehicles.

An ambulance is also on scene, although it is not known if there are any injuries yet.

Although the crash has been cleared, traffic is still slow both ways between Cooper Dean and the A31.
