A MAJOR street is closed this morning as emergency services deal with a crash.

The A6 Blackrod Bypass is closed at the junction with Dark Lane where a collision between a van and a Volkswagen Golf has caused "major disruption".

Traffic is queuing around the incident and the road is shut between the junction and Waterhouse Nook.

A police spokesman said: "We were called at around 10.30am to reports of a collision involving two cars, one is a Golf and the other is a van.

"No injuries have been reported but major disruption has been caused around the junction."

Transport bosses have advised drivers to use another route until the disruption has been resolved.
