Crash Chaos on M25 and Dartford Crossing Triggers Massive Morning Delays

Lanes Shut After Early Morning Smash

Commuters face brutal delays on the M25 clockwise this morning after a crash at 6:16am forced the closure of two lanes. Traffic is backed up from Junction 31 at Lakeside and Purfleet all the way to Junction 29 near Romford.

Drivers have endured multiple stoppages, including a painful 20-minute total halt. The disruption is causing havoc for rush hour travellers.

Queuing Traffic Clogs Surrounding Roads

The gridlock has spilled onto nearby routes. The A13 is crawling past Grays, with queues stretching to the Baker Street junction near Tilbury Docks. Google Maps shows crawling traffic approaching the Dartford Crossing, adding to commuter misery.

Emergency Services on Scene

Essex Police, East of England Ambulance Service, and National Highways are on the case. So far, details on the number of vehicles involved or injuries sustained remain unclear.

Drivers Warned: Avoid the Area or Prepare to Wait

Motorists are urged to allow extra travel time or find alternative routes, especially those heading for the Dartford Crossing during peak hours. Expect delays and plan accordingly.
