North Shore Road in Hamilton Parish was closed to through traffic this morning following a single vehicle collision which damaged a telephone poll.

The collision took place early this morning near the Howzat liquor shop in Shelly Bay.

Traffic headed west, was diverted along Wilkinson Avenue to Paynters Road and onto South Shore Road. Motorists may also use Knapton Hill to access South Shore Road.
