National Highways has advised drivers to expect long delays and has implemented diversion routes to manage the flow of traffic. While some vehicles are being released from the back of the queues, it is expected that the motorway will remain closed for several hours while investigations continue and the scene is cleared.

In the meantime, if you're in the area or planning to travel, it's best to avoid the M25 completely if possible and use the designated diversion routes.
