A multi-vehicle accident on the M25 Dartford Tunnel anticlockwise is causing significant delays this morning. The incident occurred from Junction 1A (Dartford) to Junction 31 (A1306 Lakeside/Purfleet), with congestion stretching back to Junction 2 (A2 Darenth interchange).
Two lanes have been closed to %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_0%%, with the left-hand tunnel shut off due to the collision. The right-hand tunnel, which is taller, remains %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_1%%, although traffic is moving slowly. It is believed that the accident, which took place just after the tunnel exit, may have involved a bus, though confirmation of the second vehicle involved is still pending.
Motorists are advised to expect significant delays and to seek alternative routes if possible. Emergency services are on the scene, and traffic is being managed as clean-up efforts continue. Drivers are urged to remain cautious and stay updated on traffic reports.
