Overview
- The M25 anti-clockwise is closed between J10 (Wisley/Cobham) and J9 (Leatherhead) after a lorry overturned, with queues reported for six to eight miles and congestion reaching J11.
- National Highways has set a hollow-square diversion via the A3, A240 and A217 to rejoin at J8, advising substantial delays and indicating reopening is likely late afternoon to early evening.
- Surrey Police and ambulance crews are at the scene and traffic officers are managing the closure, with motorists urged to avoid the area or delay journeys.
- On Wednesday, a separate serious crash involving two lorries in the Holmesdale Tunnel between J25 and J26 prompted an air ambulance response, hospital treatment for two men and hours of investigation and recovery.
- Earlier Wednesday, a multi-vehicle collision and vehicle fire between J29 (Romford) and J28 (Brentwood) caused an oil spillage and eight miles of queues before all lanes later reopened with residual delays.
