A road traffic collision earlier today at the junction of Moor Lane and Honiton Road in Exeter led to major delays and heavy congestion across the surrounding area.
Emergency services responded swiftly to the incident, which occurred near the busy roundabout linking Honiton Road, Moor Lane and Ambassador Drive - a key route for drivers heading towards the M5, Sowton Industrial Estate and Exeter city centre.
The number of vehicles involved and the extent of any injuries are currently unconfirmed.
Authorities have since reopened the affected lanes and traffic is returning to normal, yet motorists are advised to expect ongoing delays.
Drivers are being asked to find alternative routes where possible and allow extra time for their journey, especially during the evening rush hour.
The Moor Lane junction is one of Exeter’s busiest and most congested, particularly during peak travel times, and is a known accident hotspot.
Further updates will be provided as more details are released.
