Aerial view of Sheppey bridge pile-up

Описание: Aerial footage shows emergency crews at work after more than 100 vehicles were involved in a pile-up on the New Sheppey Crossing bridge in Kent.

A 100-vehicle pile-up on a bridge in heavy fog has left at least six people seriously injured and 200 suffering minor wounds in what witnesses described as "carnage".

No one is believed to have died in the crash on the new Sheppey crossing bridge in Kent. It started at around 7.15am and continued for 10 minutes as cars and lorries crashed into each other in visibility that was down to 20 yards.



There were reports of some motorists driving "like idiots" in the conditions before the crash that completely closed the A249 that goes over the bridge.

The scene was full of buckled cars, lorries and even a car transporter as people waited at the side of the road to receive help from the emergency services.

It was reported that people were trapped and a fleet of 30 ambulances and response vehicles went to the scene, with some casualties receiving treatment at the roadside.
