AA traffic reports were saying the collision was in the northbound lane between Station Street and Graby Lane End, so drivers were told to expect slow moving traffic in the area, but the road is now cleared.

* Two hours later there was also a serious collision reported between a car and a lorry at about 8.50am obstructing the A17 Heckington bypass.

“We have sent a paramedic in a car, a crewed ambulance and the air ambulance, and are currently on scene.”

The incident occurred near the Kyme Road flyover bridge, but traffic has been building up on the A17 around Heckington and in the village centre as drivers have been diverting to find an alternative route.

Reports from locals on social media say the air ambulance as well as lots of other emergency services have attended the scene.
