The C1098 had been closed during last week's flooding and had not been reopened at the time of the crashes this morning, a spokesperson for the contractor said.

In a plea to drivers, a spokesperson said the flood-hit road had also frozen after temperatures plunged overnight.

Despite their plea, the contractor said a number of their team have been threatened and abused over the closure.

"This will not be tolerated on here or in person," a spokesperson wrote on social media earlier today.

"Our teams are working to maximum capacity due to the weather and keeping the network operational."

The road is among a number of roads that remain closed in Herefordshire today.
