A car was involved in a collision with a truck on the city's inner ring road causing rush hour delays for motorists this afternoon.
The car was knocked sideways in the collision and was left blocking one of the westbound lanes on the A47, Vaughan Way, between Bath Lane and Castle Street.
Police said no one was seriously injured in the collision, which happened at about 3.40pm.
But there were delays for motorists in the area as the northbound lane of the nearby Southgates underpass was closed following the incident.
The underpass was re-opened by about 6.15pm.
A police spokeswoman said: "An ambulance conveying a patient to the Leicester Royal Infirmary checked to see if anyone was badly injured.
"They was no-one who needed treatment and they continued to the hospital."
She said the incident involved a collision between a car and a truck. The central reservation on the road was also damaged.
She said that police officers were on the scene for more than two hours to direct traffic and oversee the removal of the vehicles.
