Motorists face a miserable journey home with traffic reported to be 'very slow' following a four-vehicle collision on the outskirts of Chester.

Travel website Inrix says the A51 Tarvin Road is partially blocked, close to the junction with Wicker Lane, at Littleton, near Vicars Cross Golf Club.

There is congestion as far back as the junction with A54 Holme Street/A51 Holme Street (Tarvin roundabout).

Cheshire police confirmed the accident was reported about 4.50pm.

An ambulance has been in attendance but it is not known whether anybody is injured.

Among the vehicles involved are a Volvo and a Vauxhall Antara.
