Highways England

Motorists on the M25 in Essex may face delays of up to 30 minutes this morning following a multi-car collision that brought anticlockwise lanes to a standstill.

According to National Highways, Essex police have now moved the debris onto the hard shoulder and lanes have opened, but congestion continues between J28 and J27 in Essex.

Traffic monitoring platform INRIX claimed that the collision included three vehicles, but no injuries have been reported.

It’s thought that there was up to five miles of congestion which has now started to clear.

Elsewhere, commuters using London Overground services this morning are facing delays, with technical issues impacting trains between Dalston Junction and Highbury & Islington on the Windrush line.

Roads also remain closed around Stoke Newington as 40 firefighters attended to the scene of a suspected gas explosion on Dumont Road this morning. While the incident is thought to be under control, traffic will likely be impacted throughout the morning as teams investigate.
