Massive M25 Smash Causes Two-Mile Tailback at Rush Hour

A major crash on the M25 near Junction 21 (M1) has brought the motorway to a grinding halt. Two lorries and a car collided on the clockwise carriageway, sparking chaos during peak rush hour.

Lane Closures Worsen Gridlock

Emergency services shut one lane and partly blocked the exit slip road to manage the crash. Vehicles involved have been moved to the hard shoulder, but traffic remains at a standstill. Congestion now stretches back over two miles to Junction 20 (Kings Langley), snarling up the morning commute.

Injuries Unknown as Emergency Crews Battle the Chaos

Details on any injuries from the smash remain unclear. However, emergency teams are at the scene working to assist those involved and clear the wreckage. Traffic reports note lane one is completely gridlocked, while a second lorry blocking lane two on the exit ramps up the jams.

Police Investigate, Drivers Urged to Find Alternatives

Hertfordshire Police have been contacted for more information on the incident. Commuters stuck in the chaos are advised to check traffic updates and seek alternate routes to avoid being caught in the delays.
