Two-car collision shuts A38 near Burnham-On-Sea

These were the scenes on the A38 near Burnham-On-Sea on Sunday afternoon (August 26th) after a two-car collision closed the busy route.

Burnham police had to shut the road after the accident occurred at West Huntspill near the junction with New Road.

"A Cavalier and Volvo collided at the junction at 2.55pm," police spokesman Dan Mountain told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

He added: "The road was partially closed but none of those in the vehicles received life-threatening injuries."

Long queues of holiday traffic built up in the area and police put in place diversions to move traffic around the scene until the A38 was fully re-opened later in the afternoon.
