The A4019 (Tewkesbury Road), just off Kingsditch Trading Estate, in Cheltenham^[1], Gloucestershire, has been closed in both directions following a serious collision. The incident happened sometime before 9pm and police, fire and the ambulance service have been seen at the scene, according to witnesses.

One witness told GloucestershireLive: “Probably eight to 10 police vehicles around with more marked cars rushing towards the area. A fire truck is also there. Very hard to get close enough to see anything as the road is sealed off from the McDonald’s roundabout, past the KFC, and over to the opposite side of the bridge near the VW dealership.”

Traffic monitoring service Inrix reports: “A4019 Tewkesbury Road^[2] in both directions closed due to accident from Brook Road to A4013 Princess Elizabeth Way. Near the KFC.”
