UPDATED: Four-vehicle crash closes A47 between Thorney and Guyhirn

Officers were called at 11am on Wednesday January 25 to reports of a four vehicle, two vans, a low loader and a car, collision on the A47.

A police spokesman said: “The road is closed in both directions at the end of the Thorny bypass/junc new cut and at Guyhirn.”

Two people have been injured in the cash. A man in his 60s suffered neck pain and a head injury and was taken to Peterborough City Hospital.

A second patient was treated by East of England Ambulance Service paramedics for neck pain and was also taken to Peterborough City Hospital.

Both are described as being in a stable condition.

The road was closed well into the afternoon as Highways cleared an oil spill from the carriageway.

The road has now reopened.
