Road Closed

A policeman tells drivers their options beside the junction with Oak Lane after the High Road was closed to traffic. My advice at this point would have been turn around and go via Squires lane - Oak Lane eventually leads through to Long Lane which was gridlocked by this time at the Dick Turpin. The High Road was closed following a serious accident involving a pedestrian and a motorcyclist, to allow the police to carry out a full investigation. The road remained closed from 17:15 until 21:45 causing chaos with the rush hour traffic in the surrounding side streets.
