Drunk driver crashes on A2 in Bexley Heath – Police make arrest
Early morning smash near Danson Interchange
A two-vehicle collision on the A2 in Bexley Heath sparked chaos just after 5:30am near the Danson Interchange and Upton Road. Emergency services rushed to the scene as traffic ground to a halt.
Driver almost three times over limit
Police found the culprit sloshed – nearly three times over the legal alcohol limit. The drunken driver was promptly arrested, leaving locals shocked at the reckless behaviour on this busy route.
Road closures and recovery cause traffic havoc
Officers from the Catford Roads policing unit of the Metropolitan Police quickly imposed road closures to secure the scene. Recovery teams are working to clear the wreckage, but traffic remains held up during operations.
Adding to the drama, a woman was arrested after breaching the police cordon and attempting to drive the wrong way on the dual carriageway – a dangerous stunt that could have caused further carnage.
Motorists are urged to avoid the area and expect delays while police and recovery crews handle the aftermath of the smash.
