A major route in Lichfield has been closed after a “serious” crash.

The A38 was shut earlier this morning (19th April) between the Swinfen Island and Streethay due to the incident.

Ambulance crews are on scene, National Highways confirmed.

A police spokesperson said:

> “Please avoid the area and follow diversions.”

> Staffordshire Police spokesperson

The road closure is reported to be causing tailbacks on a number of roads through Lichfield as drivers seek alternative routes.
