UPDATE: Major delays are impacting traffic on the A50 westbound due to a serious collision involving three vehicles, including a coach. The incident occurred at approximately 10:38 AM today, November 29, causing significant disruptions for drivers.
According to reports from a motorist, a Fiat 500 collided with a Range Rover, and was subsequently rear-ended by a Copelands coach. This chain reaction has forced authorities to implement diversions, stranding many motorists in the area.
A local reader shared their observations: “It looks like the Fiat 500 went into the back of the Range Rover, and then the Copelands coach went into the back end of the Fiat 500. All the cars are being diverted off the slip road over Normacot westbound, so the A50 is moving—but slowly.”
Authorities are urging drivers to seek alternative routes as emergency services work to clear the scene. With traffic significantly slowed, frustration is mounting among those caught in the backup.
