Burst main closes hospital road
Princess Elizabeth Hospital, Guernsey
Hospital visitors are being warned about a shortage of parking
Flooding has caused the closure of the road leading to the accident and emergency department of Guernsey's Princess Elizabeth Hospital.

Pedestrian access is not affected, but ambulance patients are being taken to the Day Patient Entrance instead.

The flooding was caused by a major water main bursting near the Victoria Wing on Wednesday night.

Visitors are being warned that a large number of parking spaces are unavailable at the moment while repairs take place.

It is hoped ambulances will be able to use the road again later on Thursday.
