A map of the accident site, taken from AA Roadwatch.

It is believed a tractor and a trailer were involved in a collision on the northbound side of the carriageway, between the junctions with the A697 and the A1068.

Lanes have been closed so the road can be cleared.

Traffic is therefore backing up but the debris is expected to be out of the way by noon.

Motorists are being advised by the AA to avoid the area, close to Hebron and Low Espley. For up-to-date information, check out the AA Roadwatch website here
