A CRASH blocked a busy Swindon town centre road earlier today.

Drove Road is closed in both directions because of an accident involving three vehicles near the old Harvester restaurant at around 4pm.

Heavy traffic is queueing and buses have been diverted away from the area.

A Wiltshire Police spokesman said: "We are currently attending the scene of a road traffic collision involving two cars and a bus at Drove Road in Swindon which was reported shortly before 4pm.

"There are no reported serious injuries. Drove Road is currently blocked."

The road reopened just after 6pm.
