According to his force, airbags incorporated into the jacket of a motorbike police officer who was hurt on the M25 during climate protests saved his life.

On Wednesday, an accident at a moving roadblock that also involved two lorries injured an Essex Police officer.

According to the police, while he was being thrown from his motorcycle, the airbags deployed.

According to the police, the cop, who had 20 years of experience, was still healing from his wounds.

The Just Stop Oil movement was demonstrating for a third day when the crash occurred between M25 junctions 26 (Waltham Abbey) and 27 (Theydon), with activists climbing on overhead gantries “in various areas.”

In Kent, Surrey, Essex, and Hertfordshire, portions of the highway were shut down due to protests.

The injured officer, a member of Essex Police roads policing unit, was “equipped with the force’s latest motorcycle and protective clothing, which includes built-in airbags”, a force spokesman said.

“The airbags were activated as he was thrown from his motorcycle during the incident.”

He said the officer, who did not want to be named, had expressed his thanks to the public for the concern they had shown towards him.

I’d want to thank everyone who was travelling on the M25 this week to get to work, school, or anywhere else for their patience and the support they’ve given to our officers, said Ch Supt. Simon Anslow.

The incident occurred when Egypt is hosting the COP27 climate meeting.

Just Stop Oil urges an end to the use of fossil fuels, financial support for renewable energy sources, and improved building insulation to reduce energy waste.

The organization has now stopped using the M25 and announced that no more protests will be planned in the “near future.”

A spokesman said the pause would allow the government “to do the right thing”.

Suella Braverman, the home secretary, declared on Wednesday that the “disruption” posed “a threat to our way of life.”
