A fallen tree has closed a road in a Herefordshire town.

Old Road in Bromyard is closed at the junction with Firs Ochard due to the tree, which has fallen and is blocking the left-hand side of the road towards the A44 at the Panniers Lane junction.

The tree, which collapsed on Monday evening, is expected to be removed by crews as they make the road safe. It is not yet known when the road will reopen.

No diversion is signposted, though alternative routes are available via Clover Road and Firs Orchard to Winslow Road.

Old Road links the Tenbury Road and Cruxwell Street at the top of the High Street to the main Worcester to Leominster road.
