Police were called to the Dartford Crossing at 4pm today (Friday, 6 September) following a report that a male pedestrian was behaving unusually. The male has been arrested.

Officers have located a suspicious item and have closed the crossing whilst enquiries continue.

The crossing will be closed for some time and motorists are advised to find alternative routes.

Which suspicious item could close a motorway for 5 miles? Guess they'll have to accounce it some time...

Can't be too careful I guess

I'm sure they thought it was a bomb.

I recall Jeremy Clarkson making some comments on British highway workers. Said something along the lines that all they are good for is closing them down. If anything other than simple driving occurs on the highways, they get shut down.

I hate how vague that statement is, it's almost unnerving. "Acting unusually," "suspicious item."

Better to be vague than to speculate before having all of the facts. For the moment this is probably the best they've got until new information arrives.

be among the top contenders for exhibit A.

In fact, very few people on the face of the planet know that the very shape
of the M25 forms the sigil *odegra* in the language of the Black Priesthood
of Ancient Mu, and means 'Hail the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds'.[/QUOTE]

Maybe he was doing the peniscopter?

You are aware that the dartford crossing is both a tunnel and a bridge right. Two things that you probably don't want people acting suspiciously around.

Also the Dartford crossing isn't actually part of the M25 so the M25 hasn't been closed..

This has got to be the vaguest article I've read in my life.
It can be summed up in the title itself and still provides barely any info.

[Memobot]

At least it's not just because someone's wing mirror fell off.
I'm looking at you Highways Agency, you traffic Wombles!

It tells people to avoid the area. that's all we need to know for now.
