Drivers on the M25 faced long delays this morning after two crashes near Chertsey closed lanes on the clockwise carriageway in Surrey.
The disruption began on Monday morning, with two crashes reported near junction 11 for Chertsey. Two lanes were initially closed, though one has since reopened, with congestion stretching back past Cobham Services to junction 9 at Leatherhead.
It is the second morning of disruption on this stretch in as many days, after a lane closure near Chertsey caused queues on Sunday, though today’s incident is separate, involving two crashes rather than one.
The live updates below are tracking the situation as it develops, including two further incidents reported on the motorway this morning.
Elsewhere on the M25 this morning, drivers on the anticlockwise carriageway faced long delays after junction 28 for the A12 following a separate crash near Brentwood, while in Kent one lane was closed clockwise between junction 5 at Sevenoaks and Clacket Lane Services because of a broken-down car.
Motorists heading through Surrey are advised to allow extra time for their journeys while the delays clear. The situation on the clockwise carriageway around Chertsey remains fluid, with one lane still shut at the time of the latest update.
This is a developing story. Updates will follow as the picture becomes clearer, including whether the remaining lane closure is lifted and how long the queues take to clear.
