A two car-collision forced a road to close this morning (Tuesday), affecting motorists and bus services.

Emergency services were called to Bury Lane in Codicote near to St Giles Church at about 8.45am after a grey Vauxhall Corsa and a grey Volvo S40 collided.

A police spokesman said road closures were put in place while the vehicles were recovered.

Bus company Centrebus tweeted: “Service 44 from Stevenage to Luton departing at 10:00 cannot serve Codicote Church due to a road traffic accident, bus is running on diversion.”

The road closures were lifted at 10.10am.

A spokesman said the ambulance service was not required.
