THE A49 is closed in both directions near Leominster due to a lorry fire near to OK Diner.
According to police on Twitter, the road will be closed for a considerable time and drivers are advised to avoid the area.
The lorry fire occurred at the junction with the A44 Worcester Road.
Police said there has also been a lorry fire at the A49 in Ludlow this afternoon.
We have received a further report of a lorry or tanker carrying milk on fire at the A49 in Ludlow. Inevitably this will cause further traffic chaos as the A49 is fully closed. Please find alternative route.
