Buses and cars were stopped by police on motorbikes earlier today to let around a dozen police cars drive through. They went down West Hill. Anyone heard what might have happened?

The A3 was blocked by a police car at the junction of Kingston Vale about an hour or so ago. I was stuck in the traffic being diverted. Still closed from looking at Google Maps.

TFL trafic news says "[A3] Kingston Road (SW15) (Southbound) at the junction of Robin Hood Roandabout - The road is closed due to flooding. In addition, the right turn from Roehampton Lane onto Kingston Road is also closed."
Wow. I've never heard it flood there before. Usually the underpass by New Malden is the flood point.

I don’t think the flooding was there specially. Probably just the best place to divert traffic for a blockage further down towards New Maldon.
So did you see the pictures of Knightsbridge? It's been a bit like being rain bombed recently - very very heavy in particularareas.

yes I knew the Asda underpass etc were flooded today. this definitely wasn't anything to do with that.

there was also some sort of pile up on the URR, saw a load of police and the air ambulance

but these cars were all going towards Wandsworth not URR
Yes I'm just saying there was another incident!
Yes Matt, we saw the helicopter circling low and setting down in that direction. I can't find any details.
