A vehicle crash closed Crofton Road in Orpington during morning rush hour, prompting emergency services response. A damaged Toyota Yaris allegedly collided with a number 61 bus. Despite the incident, no injuries were reported, as a patient left before an ambulance arrived. The road closure frustrated commuters and students, including a 17-year-old who expressed how the disruption affected hundreds. He highlighted concerns about road safety, emphasizing that Crofton Road is crucial for students and local businesses, and called attention to frequent incidents on this major route.
This morning's crash on Crofton Road didn't just cause delays—it completely upended the morning for hundreds of us. With buses diverted and the road shut, I joined dozens of students trudging to St Olave's on foot, late and frustrated.
As someone who relies on this route daily, I've had enough. Crofton Road isn't just any street—it's the main artery serving multiple schools and local businesses.
