THE A556 was partially blocked this morning, Thursday, between the Davenham Roundabout and King Street following a crash.

The crash on the eastbound carriageway near the Shipbrook Road junction involved a blue Renault Cllio and a grey Infiniti Q30.

A police spokesman told the Guardian there were no reported injuries, with the incident called in shortly after 8.10am.

Traffic was backed up as far as the Blue Bridge on the A556, with queues on the A533 bypass heading towards the dual carriageway.

One lane was closed for vehicle recovery, while emergency services remained on the scene.
