Significant Traffic Disruptions on the A27
Traffic on the A27 has been severely impacted following multiple incidents on March 10, 2026. An overturned vehicle shortly after 06:00 GMT and a serious crash involving a car and a motorbike have led to road closures and substantial delays for motorists.
The A27 was closed in both directions between the A259 near Emsworth and the A259 near Chichester, causing significant disruptions. Emergency services responded to the crash at Fishbourne roundabout around 2:50 PM, where a motorbike collided with a car.
The driver of the motorbike, a man in his 60s, sustained serious injuries and was transported to the hospital. As a result of the incident, the road was partially closed to facilitate the recovery of vehicles involved in the crash.
Motorists experienced delays of approximately 13 minutes eastbound on the A27, as traffic was diverted off at the Emsworth Interchange to join the A259 eastbound. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary indicated that the road would likely remain closed for several hours.
Sussex Police are actively investigating the crash and are appealing for witnesses or anyone with relevant information, including CCTV or dashcam footage from the area at the time of the incident. A spokesman for Sussex Police stated, “Officers are investigating and ask witnesses or anyone with relevant information such as CCTV or dashcam footage of vehicles in the area at the time to come forward.”
This series of incidents is part of a troubling trend on the A27, which has seen multiple traffic disruptions leading to road closures and delays in recent months. The authorities are working to address these issues and ensure the safety of all road users.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the injuries and the ongoing investigation. Further updates are expected as authorities continue to assess the situation and gather more information.
