The M25 is completely closed in both directions between junction 28 (Brentwood) and junction 27 (M11) following a serious collision involving two lorries. Emergency services, including Essex Police and National Highways Traffic Officers, are on the scene working to manage the chaos.

Crash Causes Major Damage and Power Outage

The crash happened on the anti-clockwise carriageway where one lorry ended up down the nearside embankment. The impact caused severe barrier damage and brought down a power line. Due to the power line damage, the clockwise carriageway has also been shut to allow UK Power Networks to safely assess repairs.
