A key A-road through Wiltshire has been blocked by a “crash.”

At the time of writing, there were significant delays in both directions on the A429 Burton Hill, between Malmesbury and Corston, north of junction 17 of the M4.

The AA’s traffic monitoring service says the route has been blocked following a crash near Grange Lane.

It said: “Partially blocked and queueing traffic due to crash on A429 Burton Hill both ways at Grange Lane.”



There were significant queues in both directions shortly after 10am, with the incident still causing problems for drivers in the area.

Traffic is tailed back towards Corston to the south and Malmesbury to the north.

The severity of the crash has not yet been confirmed by Wiltshire Police.
