South Circular blocked after item falls off back of lorry
The South Circular was blocked this morning after an object apparently fell off the back of a lorry.
The incident took place under a railway bridge near Verdant Lane, in the Hither Green area at around 6am.
The much-used road was both ways partially blocked, with traffic jams forming as far back as Clifton's Roundabout.
A spokesperson for the police said: "Police were called at 05:53hrs on 24 November to St Mildred's Road, junction with Verdant Lane SE22, after a lorry collided with a bridge.
"There were no reported injuries.
"The road was closed while debris was cleared.
"No arrests.
"The road has since re-opened."
