A major traffic incident on the M25 has caused significant disruption for drivers in Surrey this morning. The crash, which occurred near Chertsey, has sparked a chain of events that has left commuters frustrated and delayed.
The collision was reported on the anti-clockwise carriageway, just after Junction 11 and the A320 St Peters Way. As a result, two lanes out of four have been closed, causing long queues and congestion. The delays are estimated to be around 30 minutes, and the situation is further exacerbated by onlooker traffic and a broken-down vehicle at Junction 10.
But here's where it gets controversial... While the crash itself has been cleared, the aftermath continues to cause issues. Traffic monitoring services report that the incident has been moved to the hard shoulder, but delays and congestion persist. This highlights a common issue with road safety and the impact of even minor collisions.
And this is the part most people miss... The ripple effect of such an incident can be felt for miles. Congestion has spread back to Junction 13 for Staines, and even the clockwise carriageway is affected by onlookers and a broken-down vehicle at Junction 10. It's a reminder of how interconnected our road networks are and how one incident can have widespread consequences.
As of now, the exact number of vehicles involved and any potential injuries remain unknown. SurreyLive has reached out to emergency services for further details.
