Major Crash Shuts Down A39 in Icy Morning Havoc
A huge emergency response is underway on the A39 Quantock Road after a serious collision involving a double-decker bus and a motorcyclist. Dozens of police, fire, and ambulance crews have rushed to the scene where reports say people may be trapped.
Road Closed as Rescue Teams Battle the Chaos
Avon and Somerset Police revealed the crash happened around 6 a.m. near the junction of Sandford Hill and Quantock Road, which remains completely shut. A major incident has been declared as emergency teams fight to secure the area.
Police Warn: Avoid Roads Unless Absolutely Essential
“Please only travel if absolutely necessary!” Avon and Somerset Police urged.
With freezing temperatures overnight leaving roads treacherously icy, the force warned motorists to stay off the roads where possible. Residual water from last week’s heavy rain has added to the danger, creating hazardous driving conditions in the area.
Casualties Unknown as Rescue Continues
So far, no confirmed casualties have been announced, but concerns remain as emergency services work through the morning. Drivers are advised to find alternative routes and take extreme caution if they must travel.
