So, to recap, at about about 14:50 today a tram and a van were involved in a crash on University Boulevard, derailing the tram.

Passengers described a loud bang and screaming from people who "feared it would roll over".

Four people were injured and needed treatment, NET said.

Since the crash, engineers have been working to put the tram back on its tracks but it has forced the closure of University Boulevard in both directions.

The jam has caused severe congestion across the city, with Nottingham buses reporting two hour delays and the "worst traffic in eight years".

Drivers have been warned to stay off the roads if possible this evening as University Boulevard is expected to remain shut.

"Please avoid." That's about right.

This is the current traffic situation outside BBC Nottingham at the bottom of London Road. Pretty crazy for gone 19:00 on a Wednesday evening.

Weary reporter Jack Maclaren has just returned to BBC Nottingham HQ after spending almost four hours stuck in traffic.

"I left the BBC at 14:45 to go to Attenborough - normally a 15, 20 minute drive.

"I was travelling down University Boulevard and saw everybody doing u-turns - I kept going, wondering what was happening, for another five minutes and then I realised the awful truth.

"They were just turning everyone back before they got too irate. Eventually I got to Attenborough 90 mins after I left. Coming back I thought 'oh it probably won't be as bad'. I couldn't have been more wrong. It's taken me just over two hours.

"I tried an alternative route, using back roads but it didn't work. It was horrific, I don't think it would have mattered which way I went.

"If you don't have to travel tonight, don't bother. It's horrendous."

University Boulevard is still shut both ways between Woodside Road and Clifton Boulevard because of that tram derailment and it's causing major congestion right across the city.

Unfortunately it sounds like it will be shut for the rest of the evening.

Obviously all the surrounding routes are absolutely solid, in fact Clifton Boulevard is stationary between the Nottingham Knight and the QMC.

The A453 is also stationary heading in through Clifton from the Crusader Island and is very slow in the opposite direction.

Queen's Drive is absolutely solid both ways as is Derby Road, Trent Bridge and Loughborough Road. WIlford Lane in West Bridgford is also looking incredibly slow.
