Horrific Crash on M23: Person Thrown from Vehicle and Killed
A tragic fatality has occurred on Surrey’s busy M23 this Sunday morning. A person was reportedly thrown from their vehicle and struck the windscreen of a lorry involved in roadworks, resulting in a deadly collision.
Major M23 Closure Causes Chaos
Six fire crews from Surrey and London rushed to the scene. Surrey Police, an air ambulance, and Highways England Traffic Officers are all on site. The M23 is shut both ways between Junction 7 (A23) and Junction 8 (M25), bringing major traffic disruption.
Emergency Services Respond Swiftly
Paramedics from South East Coast Ambulance also arrived at the scene. Drivers heading southbound from Junction 7 are advised to divert via the A23 towards Gatwick, rejoining the M23 at Junction 9A.
Northbound motorists should travel anti-clockwise on the M25 to Junction 6, then take the A22 northbound towards Purley.
