A THREE-vehicle crash happened on the A303 near Horton, with the A303 being blocked.

Police and ambulance services were at the scene in Ilminster today, where a large build-up of traffic was held up as the situation was dealt with.

Fortunately, no one has sustained a serious injury.

The stretch of the A303, where the accident happened, is also closing later due to scheduled roadworks (22 September - 11 October 9pm-7am).

Luckily for many people needing to get home after finishing work around 5 o'clock, the road was officially cleared by 5pm.

However, there was a backlog of sitting traffic that was waiting a while following the incident.

Commenting on the incident that occurred today (1 October 2024), a representative from the Somerset and Avon police said: "We were called at 3.23pm today to reports of a three-vehicle collision on the A303 near Horton.

"Officers attended, as well as the ambulance service, but no serious injuries were reported.

"The vehicles involved were recovered and the road cleared at 4.56pm."
