M25 Completely Shut After Multi-Vehicle Crash

There were significant delays for drivers following a multi-vehicle accident on the M25 motorway. National Highways reports that three of the four lanes have reopened, with around 20-minute delays and four miles of slow-moving traffic remaining.

The traffic monitoring service Inrix reported severe delays and one lane closure on the M25 anticlockwise between J25 A10 Great Cambridge Road (Enfield) and J24 A111 Stagg Hill (Potters Bar). Congestion extended to J26 (Waltham Abbey), with slow traffic also affecting the opposite carriageway due to onlookers.

Alternative routes through Enfield and Edmonton, including the North Circular near the Great Cambridge Interchange, were also congested as drivers sought detours.
