M25 Chaos: Multi-Car Crash Shuts Clockwise Lane in Essex
A major crash involving multiple vehicles has slammed the M25 clockwise carriageway between Junction 30 (Aveley) and Junction 31 (Purfleet) in Essex. The smash happened earlier today, sparking an urgent response from Essex Police and National Highways: East.
Full Closure Between Junctions 30 and 31
Traffic was initially held up just within Junction 30, but the scale of the collision forced authorities to close the entire clockwise stretch between Junction 30 and Junction 31. Motorists face heavy delays and stop-start queues as emergency teams tackle the scene.
Driver Diversions and Delays
Officials have set up a diversion along the distributor link road running parallel to the motorway to ease congestion. But delays are mounting fast, with jams backing up on approaches to the crash site. Commuters are urged to find alternative routes or build in plenty of extra time.
Emergency Services on Scene
Essex Police continue to assess the crash, offer aid to those involved, and safeguard drivers using the road. Meanwhile, National Highways: East is closely monitoring conditions and pledges to update the public as more information emerges.
