The A66 in Cumbria has been closed due to a crash between a car and lorry
POLICE are dealing with a two-vehicle collision that has forced the closure of a major road.
The A66 Westbound is currently closed between Brougham and Kemplay Bank Roadabout at Penrith.
It follows a collision between a car and a lorry. All traffic is currently being held and police are warning there are long delays on the approach.
A spokesman for Cumbria Police said: " We are advising that if you are travelling westbound to use an alternative route to continue your journey. HGVs are advised not to use the A685 due to low bridge and weight restrictions."
