He told The Standard: “It looks to have been a head-on smash just as the vehicles came over the rise over the railway line. It is a dangerous spot as people accelerate away from the roundabout.

“I can see one vehicle badly smashed and the other is parked up nearby.”

* Traffic is very slow going through Sleaford because of the road closure.
