Drivers using the A142 at Witchford near Ely face delays after a lorry overturned, shedding its load, on the Lancaster Way roundabout. Cambridgeshire fire and rescue were first on the scene and drivers caught up in queues say their officers have been directing traffic until police arrive.

“Major incident – over turned lorry at Witchford roundabout material and oil over the road,” said one driver forced to abandon their car and walk into work on the estate.

“They have closed the roads coming out of Lancaster Way and you can’t get through into Ely so I would advise not to come this way.
