A light aircraft has crashed on the A419 – with emergency services scrambled.
Great Western Air Ambulance was among the 999 crews called to reports of a downed powered glider on the busy route at around 4.45pm this afternoon (Tuesday).
The incident happened close to Aston Down Airfield in Frampton Mansell, between Cirencester and Stroud.
A witness said that it “looked like it stalled and nose dived into the main road”.
The two occupants of the aircraft are not believed to have been seriously injured, with the air ambulance stood down soon after arriving at the scene.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Gloucestershire Constabulary said: “Motorists are advised that road closures are in place while emergency services are in attendance.
“There were two occupants on board who will be assessed by the ambulance service, and it is understood that no other vehicles were involved.”
Police have closed the road in both directions between Cowcombe Hill and Emmerson Lane.
