Default How crashy is a crash?

I heard on the BBC at 8am that the QEII bridge was closed owing to a
crash that happened at 2am. There is no mention of when it might
reopen. I suppose that if the crash is very serious then it might be
closed permanently.

I wonder what the crash was like? If it has taken a mnimum of six hours
to clear up then I'm imagining something like Transformers: Age of
Extinction sellotaped to Final Destination 5.


Or a damaged parapet, which must be repaired before reopening in case a
further crash would cause a vehicle to leave the bridge?
