Crashes on the M25 and M2 motorways in south-east England have caused traffic to be held and significant delays.

Multiple crashes have caused significant traffic disruption across south-east England motorways on the same day.

On the M25 clockwise near the Dartford Crossing, emergency services responded to a crash at around 2.40pm. All traffic was initially held before being released at 3.10pm, though one of three lanes remained closed for recovery work. Drivers faced delays of up to 40 minutes as traffic approached the scene.

Separately on the M25 clockwise, a crash involving a van between junctions 7 for the M23 and 8 at Reigate caused all lanes to be temporarily stopped at around 7.05am. Congestion stretched back towards Godstone. The motorway was expected to reopen shortly.

Traffic on the M2 was also held following a separate multi-vehicle crash involving a lorry and cars, with both News Shopper and This Is Local London reporting the incident.
