A55 & A483 Wrexham Bypass Traffic Chaos
Wrexham.com readers and those who follow our @wrexham twitter account would have been some of the first to know about the traffic chaos hitting northbound A483 and A55 users this morning as we retweeted Danny Williams :

We drove around Rossett and the ‘back’ road through Handbridge this morning and viewed tailbacks as far as the Rossett interchange on the bypass, with traffic at a standstill northbound. Drivers had engines off and some were stood outside their cars.
The cause of the tailbacks was a 3 car incident around Broughton on the A55. One woman was taken to hospital as a result but the injuries are not believed to be serious.
UPDATE 11:40:
Things go from bad to worse as a broken down lorry is creating further issues.
We have had a stream of people tweeting us this morning, these are the latest:
@wrexham Massive tailbacks before Posthouse roundabout on A483, crash between there and the Sainsbury's exit.

There has also been criticism of poor media coverage from some, with traffic reports now saying that there are ’10 minute delays’ – ignoring those on the A483.
