BBC still saying "accident involving two vehicles". http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/stokeI spoke to Fire and Rescue and they said there had been no accidents in the last few hours in Stafford and nothing in that area which suggests it's a police operation. Talked to Staffordshire Police but can't get through to a duty officer and the control room remain tight lipid. Thankfully it sounds like the fatal accident a few people were reporting is NOT what happened here.
BBC said:A518 Staffordshire - A518 Weston Road in Stafford closed and delays in both directions between the A34 Queensway junction and the Within Lane junction, because of an accident involving two vehicles.
I saw it, but as I said, Fire and Rescue are pretty clear that they haven't been called to anything and said they would have known if that was the case. People I've spoken to are reporting police cars, police helicopters, but no ambulances or fire engines. Sounds like a police incident to me. I'll let you know if I can get through to the duty office.BBC still saying "accident involving two vehicles". http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/stoke
Indeed, just wondering who told them that, as they weren't saying that when it first started..?I saw it, but as I said, Fire and Rescue are pretty clear that they haven't been called to anything and said they would have known if that was the case.

Where you been hiding then?Hope all involved will be okay :/ thanks for the update, Robin.
I've just been out in the car and it's all still closed off and blue lights to be seen a few hours later. Seems a very long time to deal with an accident just involving one or two vehicles no matter how serious it might have been. Anyone more in the know yet?
Indeed.Not sounding too good at all is it. Hope that both can go on to make a full recovery
