Traffic monitoring service Inrix reports: "A40 in both directions closed due to police incident from A417 (Elmbridge Court Roundabout) to M5 J11 (Gloucester / Golden Valley Bypass). Traffic is coping well."

"Affecting traffic between Cheltenham and Gloucester."

There are delays of 10 minutes and approx. 1 mile of congestion on approach.''

One person tweeted: ''How brave was that pilot? Amazing.''
