Police have closed the road for two separate accidents. A diversion is in place:Eastbound Traffic should follow the A284 and rejoin at Clapham.

Westbound traffic should take the A280, A259 and the A284 to rejoin at Crossbush.

One motorist said: "It looked like two cars were involved in the first crash with damage to street furniture.

"I understand a lorry was involved in another crash."

Pictures show what appears to be a bus stop badly damaged.
