A ROAD near Carlisle was closed this evening following a police incident. 

A Cumbria Police spokesperson said they were called out at 4.10pm to reports of a concern about the welfare of a man. 

The road had been blocked from the roundabout on the A689 coming west, and emergency services were attending and on the scene.

A post from the Cumbria Road Watch group indicated that the road has since reopened.
