M25 Clockwise Shut After Massive Three-Lorry Smash Near M11
The M25 clockwise is completely shut with severe tailbacks after a major pile-up early this morning near the M11. Around 3am, three HGVs crashed between junctions 27 and 28, forcing the motorway to close for urgent repairs.
Crushed Lorry and Diesel Spill Spark Chaos
A passing motorist caught the shocking aftermath on camera, showing one red lorry cab twisted and mangled beyond recognition. The fate of the other two trucks is still unclear. Emergency crews remain at the scene, but no word yet on injuries.
The collision caused a huge diesel spill across three lanes, making the road dangerously slippery. While vehicles have been removed, resurfacing work means the M25 closure will last all afternoon.
Huge Delays and Diversions Hit Drivers
National Highways warned: “This serious collision means the M25 will be closed all afternoon. Expect major delays and plan ahead.”
Essex Police, fire teams, and traffic officers are managing the scene and directing drivers along diversion routes marked by a hollow triangle:
- Exit at junction 27 for the M11
- Follow the A406
- Take the A12
- Rejoin the M25 at junction 28
Motorists trapped inside the closure were partially released past the crash on lane one, but long queues are expected through the morning rush.
Keep checking back for updates on this developing M25 traffic nightmare.
