Heavy traffic as lorry overturns blocking M25 from Watford

Google Maps is reporting 15-minute delays on the A41 either side of the M25 north of the Hunton Bridge Roundabout this afternoon (July 24). Motorists have reported seeing a recovery truck coming around a corner before another large vehicle went onto its side, blocking most of the carriageway where cars turn onto the motorway from the A41 heading northbound.

Motorists who saw the accident have warned others to avoid the area amid heavy congestion. According to witnesses no one was in the overturned truck and so it is not thought that anyone has been injured. A Herts Police spokesperson said: "Police have been called to reports that a lorry has fallen off a recovery truck and is currently blocking one of the lanes on the slip road for the M25.

"Traffic is said to still be flowing but it is likely that there will be delays." Recovery are on the scene to move the vehicle. It also appears that there are also delays on the A41 heading south towards the M25, coming off the M25 there anticlockwise, and heading south on the A4251 (Watford Road) from Kings Langley due to the blockage.
