Drivers faced three-hour jams after M25 lorry fire

Motorists faced delays of up to three hours on a section of the M25 after a “serious” lorry fire.

National Highways reported 11 miles (17.1km) of congestion on Friday morning after two lanes of the clockwise carriageway between junction five, near Sevenoaks in Kent, and junction six, near Godstone in Surrey, were closed at one point.

Congestion had also spread to the A25 through Sundridge, Oxted and Godstone, it added.

As of 14:15 BST, one lane was still closed and there were 30-minute delays due to three miles of traffic.
