Motorway blocked after two-vehicle crash

A section of a major motorway was blocked after a crash and a subsequent vehicle fire in Essex.

Emergency services were called to the M11 southbound between junction 7A and junction seven, both near Harlow, at 07:11 GMT.

National Highways posted on X, external[1] that a van and a car had been involved in the collision which led to fuel leaking on to the carriageway and igniting.

One lane later reopened, but lanes two and three remained closed due to damage to the carriageway.
