Seafront Chaos: Police Shut Road After Car Blaze and Crash
Seafront Locked Down Amid Car Fire
Police slammed the brakes on traffic along the seafront between the Kursaal and Chalkwell. The reason? A roaring car fire near the Oyster Creek Kitchen forced emergency crews into action. Firefighters quickly tackled the blaze, but the scene caused a major bottleneck.
Traffic Gridlock and Roadblocks
With vehicles piling up, officers set up multiple roadblocks to manage the jam. Drivers are now being diverted off the seafront as police work to clear the mess. A 1 Police spokesperson warned that closures could last until midnight, so locals are bracing for delays.
Crash Adds to Mayhem at Seaway Roundabout
To make matters worse, a car crashed at the Seaway roundabout nearby. Police shut down part of the road there too, hampering the recovery operation. The double chaos has left commuters stuck and scrambling for alternative routes.
