Traffic Disruptions Caused by Lorry Incidents

A series of traffic incidents involving lorries have caused significant disruptions across various locations. In Kent, a broken-down lorry on the Dartford Crossing has led to 50-minute delays as traffic was temporarily halted for clearance. Meanwhile, in Beechview, a dump truck collided with a railway bridge, prompting the need for a crane to dismantle the damaged structure, affecting local traffic further. Dorset Police are investigating a separate incident in Woodsford where a lorry collided with a railway barrier, causing service disruptions on the Waterloo to Weymouth line. Additionally, an overturned lorry near Sittingbourne resulted in one person being hospitalized and closed a slip road for recovery efforts. These incidents highlight ongoing traffic challenges in the area, with authorities urging motorists to seek alternative routes.
