AN ACCIDENT involving two cars has left a major A-road partially blocked this evening (Thurs).

The A369 Martcombe Road in Easton-In-Gordano has been partly blocked after the accident at about 6.40pm at the junction of Happerton Lane.

Police warned drivers to take extra care on the roads earlier this week as the MET Office forecast gales of up to 70mph and heavy rain in some areas in the coming days.
