3 car crash

For those travelling through Stourport and wondering what the heck is going on see the subject above.

There's been a major crash just around the corner from The Rough on Betty Dawes Hill as you leave town. Unknown injuries.

As a result there's a Police barrier just past Areley Lane and the turn off from Dunley Road to the Walshes.

All traffic from Stourport heading down Dunley Road is being redirected up Areley Lane, including the two trailer lorry I was following. For non-locals the clue should be in the name - Lane. The phrase 'single-lane traffic' does not do this justice.

All traffic coming into Stourport is being left to head up Areley Common, which is kind of nuts.

Okay obviously traffic coming through Stourport is being slowed down leaving Bridge Street queued (not helped by the car parked outside the pot shop), this feeds into York Street, Mitton Street, Worcester Street, Hartlebury Road and Minster Road. Once again we see how one incident grinds the entire town to a halt.
