M25 Chaos Today: Lorry Overturns, Causing Major Delays

Motorists traveling on the M25 today faced significant disruptions following a serious crash that resulted in the partial closure of one of the UK’s busiest motorways. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where a lorry had overturned on the anti-clockwise carriageway between Junction 10 (Cobham) and Junction 9 (Leatherhead), leaving traffic at a standstill.

The accident prompted a full closure of all lanes in the affected direction while police, fire crews, and recovery teams worked tirelessly to secure the area and clear the wreckage. National Highways confirmed that emergency responders were on-site, managing the situation and directing traffic. The M25, already notorious for congestion, saw long queues develop as a result of the incident, with delays expected to continue throughout the day.

Motorists are urged to allow extra travel time and, if possible, seek alternative routes as recovery operations continue. Reports of heavy traffic and long tailbacks have been pouring in, particularly for those approaching the scene. Authorities have not yet provided details on any injuries or the individuals involved in the crash, with investigations still underway to determine the cause.

This latest incident adds to a string of disruptions along the M25 in recent weeks, which have involved multiple collisions and other incidents causing closures and significant delays for commuters and freight vehicles. Drivers are encouraged to stay updated with information from National Highways and local authorities as the situation develops.

As recovery efforts continue and investigations proceed, further details about the accident will be shared with the public. Motorists are reminded to exercise caution if traveling through the affected area.
