Two people are in hospital after their car rolled onto its roof.

Gloucestershire Constabulary said closures were in place between Littledean Road at the junction with Oak Way and Elton Corner near Westbury-on-Severn.

A woman was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol and a man was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in Gloucester.

Police want anyone who drove down Elton Road at about 15:10 GMT on Sunday and who saw the incident or aftermath to get in touch.

Gloucestershire Constabulary is yet to clarify whether any other vehicles were involved.
