A KEY route in Worcester was closed this afternoon (June 17) after a three-vehicle crash.

London Road was blocked after a crash involving a taxi, a car and a British Gas van just after 1.10pmm.

This led drivers to perform u-turns in the road.

Emergency services were called to the scene and the road was closed from 1.21pm to 2.47pm.

The vehicles involved were a Ford Zetec, a taxi and a Vauxhall Vivaro van.

A Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "We've got two appliances from Worcester at an RTC involving three vehicles.

"No persons were trapped but we're busy making the scene safe."
