Swindon Advertiser reported that the A4312 Drakes Way Northbound was partially blocked after a crash between A4259 Queens Drive and A4313 Ocotal Way. Traffic was queuing at the time of the report.
A4312 Drakes Way Northbound
The disruption affected a stretch between A4259 Queens Drive and A4313 Ocotal Way, which is the part of the route drivers would need to navigate through or around. With the northbound side only partly open, vehicles slowed as the queue built behind the incident.
Queens Drive and Ocotal Way
The report gives the location clearly, but not the scale of the crash beyond that it caused a blockage. That leaves the practical question for road users simple: the northbound lane was not running normally, and anyone approaching from either direction along A4312 Drakes Way had to expect delays around the affected section.

The live update was issued as a traffic report, with the source inviting further information by email or phone. For drivers, the key point is the same: the partial blockage and queueing were already in place at the time of the report, so the affected section needed to be treated as congested rather than clear-running.
The remaining unknown is the severity of the crash itself. The report does not say how many vehicles were involved or whether anyone was hurt, so the only firm guidance for now is to allow extra time and approach the route with caution until the obstruction is cleared.
