Boston gridlocked by "major incident"

Boston has  been gridlocked for much of this morning and into this afternoon because of a police operation which has closed Sleaford Road inbound and outbound.
The outbound road blocks are on Sleaford Road just beyond the ASDA traffic lights and inbound on Sleaford Road from the Brothertoft Road turning.
Lincolnshire Police have issued no information about this on the internet - nor have the BBC Travel Unit.
The Boston Standard website reported ...
"Police have cordoned off Sleaford Road following a ‘major incident’.
"Public access is currently unavailable on the town side of the road.
"A heavy poice presence, including patrol cars and vans, are at the scene, while people in forensic uniforms have been seen at the site, which appears to be a house.
"Sgt Gary Boxall said: “There has been a major incident.
“As you can see there is a police presence right now and we are dealing with the situation.”
"Police would not, at this stage, confirm what the incident was.
"It is not known whether any arrests have been made.
"Traffic is currently being redirected alongside the Asda supermarket, which is opposite the scene..."
Although this news was posted at  12:09 the road was closed some four or more hours earlier.
There has been plenty of time to let local people know about the problems.
But no-one could be bothered.
Four hours later, the Standard website was unchanged, but according to the BBC at 1-30pm :  

"A man has been found dead in a garden in Lincolnshire.

"Officers were called to the garden of a property in Sleaford Road, Boston, at about 07:30 BST.
"A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said the death of the man, who was thought to be in his 30s, was being treated as unexplained.
"A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out later. No further details about the man's identity have been released."
