Fire crews had to remove the roof of one of the vehicles to extricate one female casualty. It isn't clear at this time whether the casualty was transported to hospital by road or air ambulance.

Road blocked as the scene is made safe.

Police closed the road in both directions whilst the fire and ambulance crews dealt with the scene. The road has since re opened with vehicles passing the scene on one side of the carriageway. Police investigations are now underway to establish the circumstances of the collision.
