A major traffic incident is unfolding on the M25 in Surrey, causing significant disruptions for drivers. A crash near Chertsey has led to lengthy delays and congestion, impacting both directions of the motorway.
The collision, which occurred shortly after Junction 11 and the A320 St Peters Way, has resulted in the closure of two lanes on the anti-clockwise carriageway. As a result, long queues have formed, with traffic backing up towards Junction 13 for Staines.
Delays of up to 30 minutes have been reported, and the situation is further complicated by onlooker traffic and a broken-down vehicle at Junction 10. The exact number of vehicles involved and any potential injuries remain unknown, with SurreyLive seeking further details from emergency services.
This live event is ongoing, and we will provide regular updates as the situation develops.
