'Please use an alternative route' plea as both lanes blocked heading eastbound
A30 eastbound both lanes are currently blocked at IDE and the junction with the M5 whilst we deal with an RTC. This will take a while for the traffic to clear after we can recover the vehicles so please use an alternative route
