M25-Verkehr live: Große Verzögerungen gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, nachdem ein LKW in einen Damm gefahren ist

A lorry crash on the M25 motorway near Junction 6 has led to severe traffic disruption, with delays stretching for several miles and lane closures remaining in place as of late afternoon. The incident occurred on the anticlockwise direction of the motorway, approximately 10am today, according to Surrey Police. Emergency services responded swiftly to the scene, where the lorry had collided with an embankment, causing significant damage and prompting the closure of two of the motorway’s four lanes. Initial reports indicated that congestion extended back for nearly seven miles, with drivers experiencing delays of more than an hour. The accident took place at Godstone and Clacket Lane Services, which are located near Junction 6. National Highways confirmed that the crash resulted in the partial blockage of the motorway, forcing authorities to implement temporary lane closures while they worked to clear the site and restore normal traffic flow. As of mid-afternoon, updates from National Highways showed that lanes one and two remained closed on the anticlockwise side of the M25. Emergency road crews continued working to repair damaged barriers and an electrical box that had been affected during the collision. Despite the lorry being recovered from the crash site, the ongoing repair efforts have contributed to persistent slowdowns along the affected stretch of the motorway. Live updates from Google Traffic and traffic camera feeds have shown that the congestion persists, with vehicles queued up for considerable distances. The situation has prompted widespread concern among commuters, many of whom have shared their experiences on social media platforms. Some drivers reported being stuck for over an hour, while others described the severity of the backup as affecting multiple junctions along the route. Surrey Police confirmed that the lorry driver was safely extricated from the vehicle and taken to a medical facility. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident, though investigators are likely examining whether the crash was due to mechanical failure, driver error, or other contributing factors. Highways England has been coordinating with local authorities to manage the recovery process and ensure that the motorway can be reopened as soon as possible. Authorities have advised drivers to plan alternative routes and exercise caution in the area. While some sections of the M25 have started to see improved conditions, the full restoration of traffic flow is expected to take time. As of the latest update, the congestion continues to affect the anticlockwise direction, with delays anticipated for the remainder of the day. Drivers are urged to check real-time traffic updates before setting out on their journeys.
