M25 Chaos: Four-Car Smash Sparks Massive Delays
A nasty four-vehicle crash on the M25 has brought tunnel traffic to a crawl. The pile-up happened just after midnight on Friday, February 9, between Junction 8 (Reigate) and Junction 7 (M23), closing three lanes and causing an 11-mile tailback stretching back to Junction 9 (Leatherhead).
Emergency Services Rush to Scene
Emergency crews were quick to arrive. Three people were rushed to hospital, with one suffering serious injuries. Surrey Police have wrapped up their initial crash investigation, but repairs to the damaged barriers mean the lane closures remain in place.
Delays Expected for Hours – Take Alternate Routes
National Highways warns drivers on the anti-clockwise M25 in Surrey to brace for delays of over 90 minutes. Traffic officers from National Highways and Surrey Police are managing the scene and will continue probing the crash.
