The lorry is blocking the fast lane

Drivers have been told to avoid a major road in Cambridgeshire after a lorry crash. Cambridgeshire Police were called to the A14 westbound at Spaldwick just before 3pm on Thursday (March 19) with reports of a crash involving a car and a lorry.

Emergency services attended. Motorists have been told to find alternative routes if travelling in the area.

A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police said: “We received a report of a two-vehicle collision on the westbound A14 at Spaldwick shortly before 3pm. It involved an HGV and a car.

“There is debris in the slow lane, and the lorry is currently blocking the fast lane leading to delays. The A14 westbound (towards Northamptonshire) was briefly closed but it appears one lane is now open.

“Tailbacks are building on the A14 and we are approaching rush hour so maybe worth people seeking alternative routes.”

Traffic monitoring site Inrix said: “Severe delays and one lane closed due to accident on A14 Westbound after J18 (Spaldwick).”
