One lane has re-opened on the A34 in both directions between the M4 and the A4185 at Chilton following an earlier incident involving an overturned lorry.

Just after 8am this morning a vehicle transporter lorry overturned on the northbound carriageway between East Ilsley and Chilton north of the Compton turnoff.

The collision damaged part of the central reservation.

One lane has now reopened in both directions but Thames Valley Police said the second lane could be affected in both directions until 10pm.

South Central Ambulance Service said one man was assessed at the scene but did not need hospital treatment.

Police have urged motorists to avoid the area.
