The road remained closed to traffic around the scene, close to the New Bath Hotel, for more than two hours while emergency services worked at the scene.

A police spokesman told the 91Èȱ¬: "The collision involved two cars, a Mercedes-Benz and an Alfa Romeo, and a Ford Transit van.

"A woman and a man, the drivers of both cars, attended hospital for treatment to injuries which are not believed to be serious."
