First report: The A494 Drome Corner slip road – the exit by the former Gateway to Wales Hotel has been closed this morning for accident investigation work to take place.

A Forensic Collision Investigation Unit is attending the scene of what looks to be a head-on collision between a car and a van.

Bob sent us a message to say there is “no access to Garden City or Queensferry from the flyover roundabout” which is affecting drivers coming from Sealand Road to Garden City.

One person who drove past the scene at around 6am said there looked to have been three cars involved in the collision which happened sometime before  4.20am.

Police issued warning to drivers to find an alternative route at 5.20am.

Traffic heading along the eastbound A494 is unaffected.
