@HighwaysEAST@HeathrowAirport@metpoliceuk Police investigations finished 5 hours ago. It is incompetence of the highest order not to open even 1 of 5 lanes when only two cars were involved. Shambolic. Anyone driven past on the other side seen if anything is happening?
@DawnBarker1970@HighwaysSEAST@HighwaysSWEST@HantsPolice No fatalities in this collision (thankfully, of course) but it begs the question of the proportionality of the response trapping hundreds of families for 8 hours to basically do paperwork! It’s an abuse of police power and it needs to stop!
@HighwaysEAST If you want to divert around the incident probably best to use A13, A406 and M11 (or reverse) because Gallows Corner is shut, though I don’t know if there are any height restrictions in that route!
@HighwaysWMIDS So you don’t see a problem in closing the M42 northbound, the M6 northbound and the M5 on the same night. Why not just shut every single road. It’s not like we’re gonna suddenly see no potholes tomorrow. All this to pick up 3 crisp packets???

@paulsaladinomd It was experts like this that suggested we needed to wear 55 face masks at the same time and get 88 booster shots just so we could be safe and healthy when buying mega sized burgers and chips at a drive thru… go figure…
@HighwaysEAST Would it not make more sense to resurface the few metres in each lane now and reopen fully by lunchtime? Surely that will cause less disruption than two lanes closed for the next 18 hours. The incident does appear to be next to a highways works site.
@HighwaysSWEST Hello. You might want to post an update about what’s happening with trapped traffic if people are being sent back to the closure point then told NO by police!
@jamespyoung84@HighwaysWMIDS Minor refers to the injuries involved rather than the extent of vehicle damage, meaning if no one is hurt there is no justification for a road closure. It will be an insurance and damage dispute between parties.
@HighwaysWMIDS@ProLikeYou Hello, I think Soul’s question was whether traffic is being taken all the way back to J15 or whether it is being directed via the service road at the services, which presumably would be quicker depending on the location of the incident!
