The A316 Great Chertsey Road in Chiswick was closed this Wednesday morning (9 September) after a collision involving a motorcycle and a car.

The road was shut between Hartington Road and Staveley Road.

A motorcyclist was knocked off his bike by a door being opened on a car shortly before 8.05pm.

He was taken to hospital where he remains in a non-life threatening condition.

No arrests have been made.

The incident led to severe congestion in the Grove Park area for much of the morning.

Tim Mack, who was walking his dog, said, “I was walking down Staveley Road and noticed we were getting much more traffic than usual including articulated lorries. Traffic is closed from the A316, from Hogarth roundabout, closed at Staveley Road, and then it’s also closed when you come over Chiswick Bridge from Richmond at the junction from Hartington Road”.

“So the only option there is for people to turn left into Grove Park, so it’s complete gridlock and tempers are getting frayed”.

Bus routes 190 and 533 were diverted.

All roads have now reopened.
