Major South London Road Closed Following Evening Collision
Motorists are facing significant disruption in South London this evening after a reported collision led to the closure of a major thoroughfare. The incident has prompted a substantial emergency service response and widespread travel delays.
Road Closure and Traffic Impact
The A23 Brixton Road has been closed in both directions near the landmark Crown & Anchor pub. The closure is in effect between the junctions of Lorn Road and Robsart Street. Police are currently at the scene managing the situation.
As a result of the closure, heavy traffic queues are building in both directions. Drivers are being strongly advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes to prevent being caught in the severe delays.
Bus Services Disrupted
The road closure has forced Transport for London to implement immediate bus diversions. Several key bus routes are affected, causing disruption for many commuters and residents.
The following services are currently on diversion: 3, 59, 133, 159, and 415. Passengers are encouraged to check the TfL website or app for real-time information on bus stop changes and journey times.
This is a developing story. Authorities are working to clear the scene and reopen the road, but motorists should expect the disruption to continue for some time.
