The collision reportedly took place shortly before 8am this morning and is believed to have involved two vehicles.

The incident has taken place between the J38 A483 Wrexham Road (Posthouse roundabout) and J39 A41 (Sainsbury’s / Boughton Heath Roundabout),

As a result of the collision there is currently heavy traffic for those travelling on the A483 northbound to Chester and for those using the A55 – with traffic currently backed up for several miles.
