UPDATE 1.45pm: The road has now reopened.

A FALLEN tree has closed a road in Herefordshire this morning.

The closure comes after heavy winds and rain hit the county last night.

A spokesperson for Herefordshire Council and Balfour Beatty Living Places said the A4112 is closed in both directions between the A49 and Kimbolton due to a fallen tree.

Drivers are asked to find another route while teams work to clear the road.
