Live M25 traffic chaos as two crashes just miles apart cause delays
Two crashes just miles apart on the M25 in Surrey are causing traffic chaos on Thursday (July 6). A crash on the motorway involving a lorry and a car led to a temporary full closure of the anticlockwise carriageway between Redhill and Godstone. The closure has since reduced to three lanes after one reopened.
Another crash between a “couple of lorries” has also occurred on the opposite carriageway at junction 6 for Godstone which means “all traffic [is] being temporarily held”.
The first incident was reported at around 10.30am and happened at Junction 7 for the M23. Congestion has reached Junction 8 at Reigate and caused delays in the clockwise direction to Junction 6 Godstone due to onlookers.
Travel service Inrix said: “Three lanes closed and queueing traffic due to accident, a car and a lorry involved on M25 anticlockwise at J7. Congestion to J8 Reigate, and onlookers clockwise back to J6 Godstone.” It added: “After a 15-minute hold, with lane one (of four) reopened to traffic.”
