Major road closed by police after collision

Part of the A45 in Warwickshire has been closed after a collision, say police.

Emergency crews were called to a section of the road between Meriden and Stonebridge island in the direction of Birmingham to Coventry on Sunday morning.

It is not known how many vehicles were involved but Warwickshire Police said closure was likely to be in place until lunchtime.

Drivers are urged to avoid the area and use alternative routes as traffic has already built up, the force said.
