A number of cars were involved in an accident in Melksham yesterday afternoon.

Wiltshire Police advised motorists to avoid the area around the traffic lights at Shaw Hill as police, fire and ambulance were called to the scene.

A police spokesman tweeted just before 4pm: "Motorists please be advised Police, Fire and Ambulance are dealing with a multiple vehicle collision on Shaw Hill, Melksham by the traffic lights. The road is closed."

The road re-opened later yesterday evening.
