AN accident partially blocked the A394 Penzance Road in Helston this afternoon leading to what one eyewitness described as traffic 'chaos'.

Eyewitnesses report the A394 is open again after the accident around St John's Road which appeared involve a car pulling a trailer with off-road motorbikes on.

Gemma Hale posted on Facebook that it looked like the accident involved a car and a trailer and happened near the Lidl store.

Traffic was reported to be queuing up 'past the lay-by' with members of Helston Bowling Club out helping to direct traffic.

Fran Phillips told the Packet: "We've just spent over an hour directing traffic as no police around! Queues up the hill, chaos and no-one sorting."

People were being advised to avoid the area following the accident but no-one appeared to have been hurt.
