Motorists are being warned of delays on the M25 this afternoon due to multiple incidents.

There are 8 miles of queues near to Leatherhead due to a crash.

The anti-clockwise carriageway between J9 Leatherhead and J8 Reigate, lane 1 (of 4) is closed due to a collision.

National Highways says delays upwards of 30 minutes can be expected.

Meanwhile, Traffic monitoring service, Inrix, reported two lanes have been closed on the anticlockwise carriageway near to Junction 16 for the M40.

There is significant traffic on the carriageway, with queues reported back to Junction 10.

Traffic is also queueing on the opposite carriageway, though this is due to congestion. This is causing tailbacks onto the M40 westbound.

Meanwhile traffic is also queueing at the Dartford Tunnel, with 25 minutes of delays reported.

Congestion is back to Junction 3 Swanley Interchange for the M20.

Tailbacks are also reported at Junction 23 for the M1 in both directions and Junction 12 for the M3.

This has led to long delays for motorists on the M3 eastbound attempting to join the M25.
