This afternoon, Thursday 10th April 2014, there’s been aserious accident involving a child and a lorry in Brownhills.
Thanks for your information – obviously I can’t publish much of it until the police have confirmed matters. I’m sure you understand why.
Update: to clarify, David Evans, who lives nearby tells me Chester Road is closed between the Shire Oak Junction and Anchor Bridge, Lindon Road Junction. Lindon Road is currently open in both directions.
6:00pm – The Chester Road remains shut for accident investigation between the Shire Oak Crossroads and the Anchor Bridge. Lindon Road remains open both ways, and traffic on the Brownhills side is moving fairly freely.
As soon as I get better information I’ll share it.
Here’s a brief report by the Express & Star
