A road crash has caused major disruption in Carshalton Beeches, with Banstead Road blocked in both directions. The closure, between Crossways and Prior Avenue, has led to significant queues building in the surrounding area.
Road closures and diversions in place
In addition to Banstead Road, Staplehurst Road has also been closed, adding to traffic delays in the locality. The incident remains ongoing, and the local bus route S3 has been placed on diversion as a result of the roadblocks.
Impact on local traffic and bus services
The road closures are affecting motorists and public transport users alike. Queues are reported to be building in the area as drivers seek alternative routes. The S3 bus service, which typically runs through the affected roads, is now operating on a diverted route until further notice.
Authorities have not yet provided a timeline for when the roads will reopen. Commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and allow extra travel time while the incident is being dealt with.
