A police officer was injured in an accident on Wednesday during a demonstration by climate activists on the M25 ring road in London. Two trucks and the officer on his motorcycle collided on the major artery that has been under siege for days by protesters.
About the course of the accident, the police said they had imposed a road closure due to a person in the roadway with the help of a signal vehicle. There was a collision between the two trucks and a police officer on the motorcycle. There is currently silence about the health status of the official. However, according to a report by The Sun newspaper, he did not suffer any serious injuries.
Countless arrests
Two people have been arrested on charges of disturbing public order in connection with the protest, Essex police said in a statement. The highway had to be partially closed again on Wednesday as climate activists from the Just Stop Oil group climbed over the roadway on scaffolding. Dozens of arrests have been made in connection with the protests of recent days.
Just Stop Oil is demanding an immediate halt to new licenses for oil and gas production from the London government. The group announced further actions on Wednesday. “This is an act of defiance against a criminal government and its genocidal death project,” the climate activists said in a statement.
