Met Police Crash on A5 Shoot-Up Hill – Officers Escape Serious Injury
Metropolitan Police officers were involved in a smash on London’s busy A5 Shoot-Up Hill in Willesden tonight. Thankfully, none suffered serious injuries.
Major Road Closure Causes Traffic Chaos
The collision happened between Walm Lane and Mill Lane, forcing emergency services to shut the A5 in both directions. Fire crews rushed to secure the scene and clear hazardous spills from the crash.
The road remains closed as officers carry out investigations and recovery work, causing heavy traffic disruptions. Drivers are being urged to find alternative routes.
What We Know So Far
The police vehicle was involved in the collision but details about other vehicles or how the crash occurred remain under wraps. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed:
“Our officers are receiving appropriate medical checks following the collision, and investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances of the incident.”
Call for Witnesses
Authorities want anyone who saw the crash or has dashcam footage to step forward. Witnesses can contact the Metropolitan Police on 101.
Expect updates as investigations continue and the A5 reopens – possibly by tomorrow morning.
