People in the Forest of Dean still received their mail today despite a Royal Mail van being involved in a crash in Cinderford.

The incident happened just after 10.30am this morning, Wednesday, in St White's Road, just outside the primary school.

It involved the Royal Mail van and another car.

St White's Road was partially blocked while a recovery vehicle was called to collect the van.

There were no injuries but the van was out of commission for the rest of the day.

A spokesman from the Royal Mail said: "The mail was transferred to another Royal Mail van for delivery to our customers."
