There is also a second smash on the A500 near Sideway roundabout. It is not yet known how many vehicles are involved or whether there are any serious injuries.

Traffic monitoring site Inrix says: "The A500 D Road southbound partially blocked, slow traffic due to accident at A50 (Sideway Roundabout)."

The incidents - along with roadworks in Werrington Road in Bucknall and on the A50 at Meir - have led to widespread delays on surrounding routes including on Leek Road and in Victoria Road, Fenton.
