Drivers have been caught in severe delays near the Blackwall Tunnel in southeast London.
Morning traffic has been thrown into chaos in Greenwich after a crash on the A102 in the early hours of today.
A stretch of the road has been closed northbound since about 1.30am between the Sun In The Sands Roundabout and the A206 Woolwich Road Flyover.
Drivers were warned of heavy congestion, with queues snarling back to Falconwood and alternative routes through Blackheath, Shooters Hill, Eltham and Lewisham.
Detectives are investigating the collision. They have not confirmed how many vehicles were involved.
Only one lane is open southbound past the scene, which is causing congestion in both directions.
Roads to the Woolwich Ferry are also busy.
Bus routes 132 and SL4 are on a detour.
One driver was caught in the road closure shortly after the crash last night.
He said: ‘If you’re coming home southbound out of London, don’t come through the Blackwall / Silvertown tunnel tonight. Been stuck here 45 minutes.’
We approached the emergency services for a comment.
