The A39 is closed this afternoon (June 8) between Glastonbury and Wells following a second serious crash on the same stretch in a matter of weeks.

The crash is reported to have happened just after 2.30pm, and a police officer at the road closure told Glastonbury Nub News the incident was on the bumpy stretch of straight road between Polsham and Glastonbury.

The A39 is closed between the Tin Bridge Roundabout in Glastonbury and the Strawberry Way Roundabout in Wells.

Delays are being caused at either end of the closure, and motorists are being urged to find an alternative route.

Last month, the same stretch of road was closed following a serious crash between a lorry and a car in a similar area.
