Major Crash Brings Emergency Crews Racing to A303 Near Amesbury – UKNIP

Massive disruption hits the A23 southbound in West Sussex after an HGV hauling a forklift flipped between M23 Junction 11 and the B2115. The overturned lorry has completely blocked the carriageway, sparking chaos for drivers.

Emergency crews rushed to the scene to tackle the spill and manage the mess. Specialist recovery teams are en route, but the road remains shut as the clean-up operation is underway.

Motorists are warned to expect long delays and find alternative routes where possible.

The A23 southbound is shut until further notice. Traffic is being forced onto local roads, adding to congestion in the area.

Heads up: Avoid the nearby A264 as it’s currently closed due to flooding, leaving drivers with few easy options.
