Accident causes huge delays at Drovers roundabout in Ashford
Commuters attempting to use Ashford's Drovers roundabout this
morning found themselves at a standstill after a car with two
passengers hit a lamp-post.
Police and two engines from Ashford fire station were called to
the scene in Maidstone Road at 8.21am.
Both the driver and passenger, a man and a woman, were injured
in the collision, with the driver reported to have a head and neck
injury.
Huge lines of traffic built up at the roundabout, which could
have also been a result of the closure of Chart Road for gas main
replacement work.
Drivers who usually use the Tank roundabout to enter Ashford
were therefore forced to divert their journey and use the 'Cow'
roundabout as an alternative route.
Chart Road is expected to be closed for a further three
weeks.
