Commuters are facing severe delays this morning due to multiple crashes on the M25 and Dartford Crossing.

Two lanes are closed and traffic is building due to a lorry crash on the M25 clockwise at junction 2 Darenth Interchange.

Highways Officers are on the scene and have closed lanes one and two in between the exit and the entry slip roads.

Traffic is queueing back to the bridge and motorists are advised to expect delays and allow extra time to travel.

It is unknown how many vehicles are involved or if anyone was injured at this time.

Highways England has also reported that the west tunnel of the Dartford Crossing is also currently closed due to a multivehicle crash but little detail is available at this stage.

We will bring you more information when it is available.
