Major Crash Forces Closure of A595 in Both Directions

A major road in West Cumbria was closed in both directions following a traffic collision, leading to significant disruption for drivers in the area.

The incident occurred on the A595 near the village of Gosforth, where authorities shut the road between Hardingill and the B5344 junction. Traffic in the surrounding area was reported to be moving slowly as a result of the closure.

Emergency services responded to the crash, though further details about those involved or the cause of the collision have not yet been confirmed.

The A595 is a key route through Cumbria, and closures on this stretch often result in delays due to limited alternative roads in the region.

Motorists were advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes while the situation was being managed.
