Massive Crash Closes Two Lanes on M25 in Essex and Kent

A five-vehicle smash has brought chaos to the M25 anti-clockwise between junction 30 (A13) and junction 29 (Romford).

Lanes 3 and 4 are shut as Essex Police, Ambulance crews, and Highways England officers work at the scene.

Traffic Nightmare Backed Up for Over 8 Miles

While lanes 1 and 2 remain open, traffic is crawling. The tailbacks stretch more than 8 miles all the way back to junction 3 (Swanley Interchange, M20).

Drivers face delays of 60 to 90 minutes beyond usual travel times. If you’re heading this way, plan your journey carefully or expect a long wait.
