Traffic is being backed up on the M25 after a "serious" crash between a lorry and a car late last night.
The crash happened anti-clockwise between J28 and J27 and Essex Police have asked anyone who was in the area at 11.15pm to come forward if they have a dash cam.
Highways England say the road will be closed throughout rush hour this morning, which is having a knock on effect to other areas of the M25.
