Did anyone see what was going on, on the A2 this morning?

It was shut just before the Well Hall/Eltham turn off and what looked like a Lorry and possibly a bike?

Scared the life out of me, to think that some poor sod could've somehow ended up under a lorry on their daily commute.

Anyone else see anything?:(

I saw the same as you dude, just the lorry surrounded my ambulances...etc I think it must have been a bike really, I dont think they'd shut off the whole road for just a shunt. It's always worrying when it happens on your daily route. Hope whoever it was is ok...ish

I was there prior to the ambulances etc, just an off-duty fireman directing cars away from the road and down the slip road.

Makes me shiver! Bike versus Lorry can't be a fair fight hope whoever it is isn't too bad.

Makes me wonder how it happened, lorries don't really tend to go in and out of lanes etc.

IMO drivers of lorries can be quite dangerous; I have observed a number of times lorry drivers moving out from their lane into a small gap, tale-gating the car in front and cutting up the car behind. I have nearly been taken out a few times by lorries on the A406 north circ road, and have learnt not to trust them.

Of course, the biker involved here (if it was a biker, you guys dont seem to know so we cant be sure) could have himself been riding without alot of care, and been the cause of the accident...
