The M25 was closed in both directions as an air ambulance rushed to the scene following a major crash on the busy motorway.
Motorists are facing hours of delays after a serious incident on the anticlockwise carriageway between 27 at Epping and junction 28 at Brentwood.
All lanes were closed on Monday – including those on the clockwise carriageway – to allow for an air ambulance to land. It is understood the clockwise carriageway later reopened at around 2pm.
Local police warned that the busy motorway could be facing severe delays for several hours to come, leaving commuters stuck in rush hour traffic.
Essex Police said: “There is significant disruption in the area and we are expecting this to continue for a number of hours with possible road closures on both carriageways. Please avoid the area if you can and plan accordingly.
“We appreciate your patience and we will update you as soon as we can.”
Drivers trapped on the busy motorway have been encouraged to follow diversions
