Overview

• National Highways earlier closed the M11 southbound between junctions 10 (Royston) and 8 (Stansted) following a crash involving multiple vehicles.
• The carriageway has since been reopened, though traffic cameras and Inrix continue to show residual delays.
• Drivers were advised to use a signed diversion via the A505, A10 and A414 to rejoin the M11 at junction 7 near Harlow.
• Delays were previously estimated at up to 44 minutes, and northbound congestion built as onlookers slowed past the scene.
• Journalists have requested information from Essex Police, the ambulance service and the fire service, and details on injuries or causes have not been confirmed.
