Carnival traffic coming into Burnham was being held up on Monday evening (November 6th) after an accident in thick fog along the Berrow Road, pictured here.
A man was taken to hospital with back injuries after being struck by a vehicle near the Warren Guest House at 5.30pm.
An eyewitness told Burnham-On-Sea.com that a man had been lifted into a waiting ambulance on a spinal board, although police said his injuries were not believed to be serious.
Paramedics and police from Burnham-On-Sea were quickly on the scene. Visibility in the area was very poor due to thick fog.
Police expected traffic to be flowing again by 6.20pm; thereby reducing any major hold-ups for carnival traffic coming into the town from Berrow.
