Three police officers have been taken to hospital for treatment after a three-car accident on the A419 this morning.
At around 7.30am two police vehicles were on the way to attend a broken down vehicle when they were involved in a road traffic collision with another car belonging to a member of the public.
The police officers attended hospital to be treated for minor injuries whilst the member of the public who was also involved in the collision was unhurt and was able to leave the scene.
The accident resulted in a large tailback affecting early morning commuters with queues back as far as the Blunsdon junction.
