A route linking two Herefordshire villages is closed this morning following a collision.

The road between Moreton-on-Lugg village and Marden is closed following a collision overnight.

A vehicle is currently blocking the bridge over the River Lugg. Police are at the scene.

We understand that the bridge may have sustained some damage. 

The main Hereford to Sutton St Nicholas Road is also closed due to roadworks so motorists living in the Marden area face long diversions to access the village this morning. 

Motorists are advised to use an alternative route.

We’ve approached West Mercia Police and Herefordshire Highways for further information. 

More soon.
