Overview
- A serious collision was reported at around 10:52pm on Saturday on the A592 near Tower Wood, prompting an immediate multi‑agency response.
- Cumbria Police have closed the road in both directions between Fell Foot Brow at Newby Bridge and Birks Road in Bowness‑on‑Windermere and warned the route will remain shut for an extended period.
- Emergency services remain at the scene conducting accident investigation work and managing traffic while officers carry out checks and evidence gathering.
- Police have not released any details about the number of vehicles involved or about injuries, and further information is expected only after investigators complete on‑scene work.
- The A592 is a heavily used lakeside route so the closure is causing delays for local motorists and tourists and drivers are being asked to follow local diversions and plan extra travel time.
