One person was treated at the scene following an accident on the A303 near Yeovil this morning.
Emergency services were called to the scene on the westbound carriageway between Cartgate Roundabout and South Petherton shortly before 10am.
One car involved in the accident had rolled onto its roof.
Initial reports indicated that one person was trapped in the vehicle, but Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service confirmed on arrival that there was nobody in the car.
Fire crews from Martock and Yeovil were joined by a specialist rescue team, as well as police and an ambulance.
The accident caused lengthy delays on the A303 for several hours, but traffic conditions had returned to normal by 1pm.
A severe weather warning has been issued for Somerset by the Met Office today and, with further heavy rain expected this afternoon, drivers are being warned to beware of surface water and localised flooding on the county's roads.
