Overview

• Police and ambulance teams reopened the M11 between junctions 11 and 12 after a lorry–car crash closed both directions for nearly 11 hours, with three people taken to hospital including one with serious injuries.
• A hay‑laden lorry fire shut the M25 anti‑clockwise between junctions 25 and 24, with National Highways reporting up to two‑hour delays and 13 miles of queues as firefighters worked at the scene and traffic was gradually released.
• An earlier straw‑lorry blaze on the A14 between Bar Hill and Swavesey closed both carriageways for hours; all lanes later reopened eastbound, but a westbound lane remains shut for resurfacing.
• On the M1 northbound between junctions 10 and 11, an overturned fully loaded HGV and diesel spill have three lanes closed, with National Highways warning that load removal and potential resurfacing will prolong delays.
• A separate incident on the A14 at Kentford saw an overturned car catch fire; the blaze was extinguished, one lane remains closed for recovery and repairs, and National Highways was called to assess road and sign damage.
