Emergency services attended a serious road collision on Titsey Road in Oxted on Wednesday (10th February) afternoon.

Another driver contacted Surrey Police when they found a silver car which had left the road and collided with a tree.

The driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle and was taken to hospital by air ambulance.

Surrey Police would like to hear from anyone with information which may assist the collision investigation. You can call them on 101, quoting reference P16031375.

As you’ve probably heard on Susy Radio’s travel news, Surrey County Council has extended the completion date of the drainage improvement work on the A22, to 28th February, weather permitting.

Reconstruction and drainage improvement works on the Southbound carriageway between the M25 and the A25 Oxted Road, started on 4th January and were initially due to last for six weeks. The Council says that when the carriageway was constructed previously, parts of the concrete were not reinforced and were laid on top of a deep base made up of clay and quarried sand. This has caused the concrete to crack and deteriorate to a fine powder.

Now an additional deep reconstruction of the road base is required, which has resulted in the extended completion date.
