The B6243 Preston Road in Grimsargh, near Preston, was closed both ways from the Old Oak Pub to Whittingham Lane after the collision at around 6am.

A single car is believed to have been involved and one person is believed to have been seriously hurt.

The road was shut from 6am until 12.30pm, with motorists advised to find alternative routes.
