Chaos on M25 as Multi-Vehicle Crash Closes Lanes Between Reigate and Godstone
The M25 in Surrey is gridlocked after a serious multi-vehicle crash shut the anti-clockwise lanes between Junction 8 (Reigate) and Junction 6 (Godstone). Emergency services rushed to the scene, with Traffic Officers leading the response to manage the fallout and keep everyone safe.
Emergency Services and Traffic Officers Close Lanes
Traffic Officers are enforcing strategic closures on approaches to the crash site. Their aim: protect motorists and give emergency crews room to work without risk. The motorway segment remains sealed off as teams tackle the incident.
Follow These Diversions to Beat the M25 Snarl-Up
Drivers heading anti-clockwise must follow the hollow square diversion signs to dodge the closure. The official detour route is:
- Exit M25 at Junction 8 (Reigate Hill Interchange), take the third exit onto A217 towards Reigate.
- Continue on A217 and then join the A25 towards Redhill.
- At A25/A23 roundabout in Redhill, turn right onto A23 towards Gatwick.
- At next roundabout, take left onto A25 heading for Godstone.
- Pass through Godstone on A25, keep straight at mini roundabout.
- Rejoin M25 at Junction 6 (Godstone Interchange) towards Sevenoaks.
Plan Ahead: Delays Expected, Avoid if You Can
Motorists are warned to allow extra travel time or consider postponing trips through this stretch. Authorities say the closures and diversions are vital to ease congestion and safeguard emergency crews attending the crash.
Officials promise ongoing updates and urge drivers to follow road signs and traffic management directives. Patience is key as teams work hard to clear the wreckage and reopen the motorway safely.
