Motorists are being warned of delays on the A500 in Stoke-on-Trent following a crash. Eye-witnesses say a lorry and car have collided on the D-road near the Porthill Bank and Middleport turn-offs this evening (September 9).

One StokeonTrentLive reader said: "There's a major accident on the A500 at the Tunstall turning. Lorry and car have collided and the car is facing the wrong way. Queues are at least two turnings long, with people out of their cars."

Traffic monitoring site Inrix says: "A500 D Road in both directions partially blocked, queueing traffic due to accident at A5271 Porthill Road (Porthill Bank)."
