Multiple incidents on the M25 clockwise are causing miles of congestion and delays of up to 45 minutes.

Multiple incidents on the M25 clockwise are causing significant delays for motorists this morning.

A lorry overturned at Junction 15, causing a significant fuel spill. According to Highways East, the incident has closed the exit slip road to the M4 westbound. The spillage has created five miles of congestion with delays of up to 45 minutes.

Further incidents are compounding the disruption. A crash involving two cars is blocking two lanes at the Swanley Interchange, with queues stretching around two miles. A broken-down vehicle at Junction 12 in Surrey is causing delays of up to four miles.

At the Wisley Interchange, multiple vehicles and a van have been involved in a crash that has closed two lanes, creating long queues in that area.

Highways authorities are dealing with the overturned lorry and fuel spillage as a priority, but motorists should expect continued delays across the clockwise carriageway whilst all incidents are cleared.
