THE A429 at Kemble was blocked this morning after a serious crash at the Culkerton crossroads.

A Landrover Defender, driven by a local man, was heading south towards Crudwell when it was in collision with a Fiat 500 going towards Culkerton.

The Landrover overturned and ended up in a hedge and firefighters had to cut the woman driver free from the Fiat. She was said to be suffering from leg and abdominal injuries and an air ambulance was called. Her injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

The road is expected to be closed for the next hour,  but there is access as far as Chelworth north bound, diverted by Kemble southbound.

Police are asking road users to avoid the area until further notice.
