Drivers on a busy stretch of the M25 are facing heavy traffic after a lorry left the UK's busiest motorway and crashed into a field. Two lanes are currently closed anticlockwise between junction 6 and junction 5.
Emergency services at scene
Emergency services rushed to the scene earlier. The HGV has been recovered from the field. National Highways has warned drivers they face 60-minute delays and seven miles of congestion on approach.
In a post on X, National Highways wrote: "Lanes 1 and 2 (of 4) remain closed on the #M25 anticlockwise between J6 #Godstone and J5 #Chipstead after a HGV left the carriageway. Lane closures are in place for emergency barrier repairs. There are delays of 60 minutes and 7 miles of congestion on the approach."
