A man was injured in a crash on the M11 highway yesterday afternoon. The incident caused a major traffic jam and the highway had to be closed for several hours.
The accident happened around 3 p.m. when a car collided with a truck near Junction 8. The man, who was driving the car, sustained serious injuries and was immediately taken to the hospital by paramedics.
The crash resulted in the closure of the M11 in both directions, causing a long line of vehicles to be stuck on the highway. Traffic police were called to the scene to manage the situation and divert vehicles to alternative routes.
Drivers were advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes to their destinations. The closure of the highway caused significant delays for commuters during rush hour.
The highway was reopened several hours later after the vehicles involved in the crash were removed and the debris was cleared from the road. Traffic gradually resumed its normal flow, but the incident caused a backlog of traffic for several miles.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash and are urging anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward with information. They are also reminding drivers to always adhere to the speed limits and drive carefully to avoid accidents on the road.
