POLICE are asking motorists to remain patient after a crash on the A69 at Hexham has left traffic queuing in the area.
At around 3pm officers were called to reports of a collision between a Vauxhall Corsa and a Ford Fiesta at the Bridge End roundabout.
One lane of the eastbound carriageway was closed for over an hour and a half while emergency services attended the scene.
Nobody is believed to have been seriously injured.
