A potential welfare crisis unfolds on the Dartford Crossing, causing significant delays on the M25. But what's the full story?
The morning of January 21st saw a police incident at Junction 1, halting traffic in both directions. The cause? A welfare concern for an individual, according to Kent Police. This led to a temporary road closure, with traffic being held, causing severe delays.
But here's where it gets intriguing: This incident is linked to another emergency response in Stone, as reported by KentLive. Could there be a larger situation unfolding? The public is left wondering about the details.
The person in question has been placed under medical care, and the road has since reopened. However, the aftermath lingers, with long delays persisting. Inrix and National Highways report delays of up to 40 minutes in both directions, even after all lanes were reopened.
A controversial aspect: The incident's nature remains undisclosed, leaving room for speculation. Were vehicles involved? Were there any injuries? These questions remain unanswered, with KentLive awaiting official updates from the emergency services.
