Does anyone have any info on what was happening on Abbydale Road opposite Millhouses park tonight approx 9pm?

There was a police car blocking the road and signs advising that the road was closed due to an accident. You could see up the road but couldnt see any other vehicles or anything else happening.

All the cars were doing u-turns back towards Dore station.

We drove down there around 8 o'clock and there was nothing.

The Dronfield bypass was closed south bound around 8:30 though, but there was an accident on there last night and it's possible they were dragging the lorry back onto the road.

Thanks Everyone.

Ive not seen anything on the news.
I fear it may have been very serious as I haven't encountered Accident investigators at normal "bumps" or "shunts".

Especially if a motorbike was involved, I hope whoever was involved will be OK.

Many years ago I was hit by an ambulance, and although no one was hurt, the full accident investigation team came out because it involved a public service vehicle. It closed the road for about 3-4 hours.
