A3 Northbound Closed in Surrey After Lorry Crash as Reports Say Three Horses Killed

Police are overseeing debris clearance with a signed diversion directing drivers through local routes to ease heavy delays.

Overview

  • The closure runs between the A247 at Burntcommon and the B2039 at Ockham following an overnight incident involving an LGV.
  • Surrey Police are at the scene while National Highways earlier indicated the road would remain shut until at least 8am with the reopening time still unclear.
  • Traffic monitoring reported delays of 40 minutes or more as recovery and debris removal continue.
  • Drivers are being routed off at the Send (Burntcommon) interchange to the B2215 through Burntcommon and Ripley to rejoin the A3 at Ockham, following the solid diamond diversion symbol.
  • The Mirror reports three horses were found dead after separate collisions involving a lorry and a car, with queues stretching to about an hour.
