Tintwistle: So, there was a big mess on the Woodhead Pass last night. A serious crash happened, and they had to close the road completely.
National Highways and the police jumped in to block off the A628 in both directions. It was between Tintwistle and Glossop, and it got pretty chaotic.
Fire crews, police, and paramedics all showed up to help out. Traffic got rerouted, which made local roads like Hadfield and Padfield super congested.
The whole thing kicked off around 5 PM, and they kept the road closed for hours. They finally called for recovery around 9:30 PM to clear things up.
Derbyshire Police and the Fire and Rescue Service are looking into what exactly happened. It’s a bit of a wait-and-see situation.
According to Inrix, the A628 Woodhead Pass is still closed due to the accident, and emergency services are on the scene. Just a real hassle for everyone trying to get through.
