UPDATE: Overturned lorry forces closure of busy Dartford road
12:32pm Wednesday 22nd February 2012
AN overturned lorry has caused a busy Dartford road to be closed.
The A206, University Way, has been shut in both directions for emergency repairs after a lorry flipped onto its side at around 10am.
Contents from the haulage lorry – believed to be rapeseed oil - spilled across the carriageway.
The driver of the lorry sustained a cut to his head but was conscious and talking when police officers arrived at the scene.
Three street lights and the road’s central reservation barrier were damaged in the incident.
The road remained open throughout the morning with lane restrictions in place but was closed at 2pm for maintenance work.
