According to AA travel news, the road is likely to remain closed for the remainder of the afternoon.

David Russell, who has lived not far from the site for 14 years, said the road has been the scene for a number of accidents.

He said: “I saw firefighters and an ambulance fly past my home at speed and I was told the air ambulance took off.

“This is such a bad road and it needs to be a dual carriageway and I wonder how many more people will need to be hurt or die before something is done.

“People are always overtaking and speeding on that road. Some people are just too impatient and it has always been this bad.”

Two months ago, Nicola Frost, 40, from Ramsey, died following a collision involving her Suzuki Ignis and a Mercedes Sprinter van near the site of yesterday's crash.
