Two lanes closed on the M3 southbound near the M25 caused delays that spread to both motorways.
Two lanes were closed on the M3 southbound at junction 12 near Thorpe after a crash was reported just after 12.45pm. The entry slip road was also partially blocked. Traffic monitoring site Inirx reported that congestion spread to the M25 either side, extending back towards junction 10 at Wisley and junction 13 at Staines.
All lanes had reopened on the M3 southbound by around 2.45pm, and the slip road was cleared, allowing delays to ease on both the M3 and M25.
Separately, the M25 clockwise experienced long delays due to a broken-down lorry and recovery work. Two of four lanes were closed before Clacket Lane Services, with congestion stretching back to junction 5 for the M26 and A21 at Sevenoaks. Queues extended over two miles on the M26, with journey times increased by around 40 minutes.
