TWO cars were involved in a head-on collision after one crossed the central reservation on a dual carriageway at Hartlebury on Friday morning.

The accident, which happened just after 6am on the A449, led to the closure of the Kidderminster-bound carriageway for two hours and rush-hour traffic chaos.

A blue Rover 214 driven by James Blair, from Stourbridge, was in collision with a grey Renault Megane, travelling in the opposite direction and driven by Dudley man Keith Knowles.

The drivers were treated for minor injuries and shock at Kidderminster Hospital while firefighters said both cars were "very badly damaged".

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident to contact them on 01562 820888.
