Wet weather causes mayhem on Cotswold roads

11:37am Monday 24th September 2012 in News By Laura Shack

WET weather conditions have contributed to a number of crashes in the Cotswolds this morning, including a head-on collision.

Following a fatal collision on the A40 last week, another crash took place on the same stretch of road at around 6am today.

A female driver was spun in her car after she was clipped by a lorry while driving around a roundabout at the A40, near to Northleach.

The drivers exchanged details and no one was believed to have suffered injuries in the collision.

Nearby, two cars had a head-on crash on the A429 near Northleach at around 8.15am.

A lorry driver, who had swerved off the road at around the same time, called emergency services to recover the vehicle when the two cars collided.

A Ford Puma, registered to Cirencester, and a blue Smart Roadster were involved in the crash.

No one was believed to have suffered injuries, but the road was temporarily blocked one-way until around 9.30am, causing heavy traffic delays.

And at around 8.15am today, two cars crashed on the B4450 at Kingham, near Chipping Norton.

A female driver from Chipping Norton suffered whiplash in the crash after her car swerved into a nearby hedge.

Drivers have been urged to take care when driving, following a flood warning issued by the Environment Agency today.
