Massive M25 Crash Sparks Two-Hour Chaos in Essex

July 13, 2023 – Drivers on the M25 anti-clockwise in Essex face brutal delays of up to two hours after a multi-vehicle smash blocked lanes between junction 30 (A13) and junction 29 (Romford).

13 Miles of Traffic Hell Despite Reopened Lanes

Although all lanes have now been reopened, the crash has left a staggering 13-mile tailback, grinding journeys to a crawl. Motorists are warned to brace for delays and consider alternative routes to avoid getting stuck in the standstill.

Emergency Crews Respond to Multi-Car Collision

The pile-up, which involved several vehicles, forced temporary lane closures earlier today while emergency services rushed to the scene. The cause of the collision remains unknown as investigations continue.
