Live M25 traffic updates as crash causes severe delays near …

A crash has caused severe delays on the M25 in Essex today as lanes remain shut near a shopping centre. The crash has taken place near junction two with the A2 at Darenth Interchange, but there is congestion back to Lakeside Shopping Centre in Thurrock.

The crash took place earlier this afternoon (November 14) just south of the Dartford Crossing and the full clockwise carriageway was shut for around 30 minutes. Now, two lanes remain closed.

It is not yet known if anyone has been seriously injured but emergency services attended the scene. There are significant delays in both directions leading to the crash site this afternoon.

Motorists are being advised to plan extra time for their journeys or avoid the area altogether. We will bring you live updates on this as soon as they come through in our live blog below.
