National Highways reports that the M25 motorway was completely shut after a multi-vehicle collision, causing severe traffic delays. Initially, three out of four lanes have reopened, but drivers still face about 20 minutes of delay and four miles of slow-moving traffic.
Серьезные задержки и одна закрытая полоса из-за многотранспортного происшествия на M25 против часовой стрелки между съездами J25 A10 Great Cambridge Road (Enfield) и J24 A111 Stagg Hill (Potters Bar). Заторы до съезда J26 (Waltham Abbey).
Traffic is also heavy on the opposite carriageway due to onlookers. Local routes through Enfield and Edmonton, including the North Circular near the Great Cambridge Interchange, are congested as drivers seek alternatives.
#M25 закрыта против часовой стрелки между J25 (#WalthamCross) и J23 (#PottersBar) из-за столкновения. Задержки до 60 минут, 4 мили заторов. Травмы не такие серьезные, как первоначально опасались.
The clockwise M25 is now open between junctions J23 (#A1M) and J25. However, the anti-clockwise carriageway remains closed between J25 and J24 for ongoing incident management and air ambulance arrival.
National Highways noted delays exceeding one hour with around three miles of congestion expected. An air ambulance was called to assist at the scene.
Travelers are advised to plan ahead and consider alternative routes due to the closure and extensive congestion in the area during the afternoon.
Summary: A multi-vehicle crash on the M25 caused major closures and traffic delays; emergency services including an air ambulance responded, and partial lane reopenings are easing most delays.
