Travel misery on the M25 in Hertfordshire as a crash and vehicle fire slam two of four lanes shut on the clockwise route. The trouble spot is between Junction 22 at London Colney and Junction 23 near South Mimms.

National Highways confirmed the incident earlier today has caused major tailbacks. Emergency crews rushed to the scene to tackle the blaze and keep drivers safe.
