A serious accident has caused severe delays on the A10 and other roads in Tottenham.

An accident earlier today has caused the A10 to be closed in both directions between the North Circular Road, A406 and White Hart Lane.

The A406 remains heavily congested in both directions as a result of the collision. Social media site Twitter was awash with comments.

Ant tweeted: “zero movement – people just standing outside their cars.”

The football match between Tottenham and Stoke went ahead at 4pm today despite heavy traffic in the area.

Diversion in operation - for bus routes 144, 217, 231, 318, 444 and W3.
