The A27 Eastbound was closed this afternoon after a tractor overturned between the A22 Cop Hall Roundabout and the Golden Jubilee Roundabout, causing significant traffic disruption.
The incident occurred when the tractor tipped over, blocking the road and spilling its load of hay across the carriageway. Commuters faced major delays as the road remained blocked while emergency services and clean-up crews responded swiftly to the scene.
Emergency Response and Road Closure
Emergency services were on site shortly after the incident to ensure public safety and manage traffic. Recovery teams worked efficiently to remove the overturned tractor and clear the hay from the road.
Drivers were advised to find alternative routes, with congestion building up in both directions as the incident unfolded. Motorists were urged to remain patient while clean-up operations took place.
Road Reopened and Traffic Flow Restored
The road has since reopened, and traffic is now flowing normally. Authorities confirmed that no injuries were reported during the incident.
A spokesperson for the emergency services said:
“Our teams worked quickly to clear the obstruction and ensure the safety of all road users. We appreciate the cooperation of drivers during the disruption.”
Advice for Motorists
Although the road has been cleared, drivers are advised to remain cautious when traveling through the area as residual delays may persist.
