DIVERSIONS are in place following a three-car collision on a motorway bridge.

The accident involving a blue Mercedes C180, a Citroen Saxo and a silver Vauxhall Vectra happened on the B4636 at 7.50am today.

The shunt happened less than a mile from the Worcestershire Royal Hospital on the M5 motorway bridge.

Police have closed the B4636 and been diverting traffic away from the area with tailbacks building on the A44 and A4440 roads.

Richard Bull, police spokesman, said vehicle queues were being reported back to White Ladies.

Andrew Christian-Brookes was on the school run and drove past the the accident just before officers shut the road.

He said: "I was just taking my daughter to school and I would usually fly through there without a problem.

"It's unusual to have an accident there but it must have been a hell of a bang."

West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust has rushed a fast response vehicle and an ambulance to the scene but there are no details of injuries yet.

A crew from Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service attended and made the vehicles safe but their specialist cutting gear was not needed.

Worcestershire County Council's highways engineers are due to begin a road clean-up but the wreckage was still causing traffic problems at 8.20am.
