A THREE-CAR crash on the A56 Haslingden Bypass is causing traffic disruptions for drivers.

The Northbound carriageway is partially blocked and long delays are being caused by the accident from the Grane Road to Blackburn Road at the Rising Bridge Roundabout.

It has been estimated that the travel time is around 25 minutes through it.

A Lancashire Police spokesman confirmed that calls came in at 8.35am for the incident involving three cars and it 'was causing some delays while the vehicles are trying to be recovered'.

It is also affecting traffic heading between Haslingden and Huncoat and the M65.
