There are severe delays on the M25 this evening after an crash involving two vehicles.

Firefights have now moved both vehicles involved onto the hard shoulder but there are massive delays through the Dartford Tunnel.

The accident happened on the Essex side of the crossing near to Lakeside shopping centre.

However there is very heavy congestion to J3 (Swanley Interchange), with slow moving traffic on Princes Road towards J1b due to the delays.

You are advised to find an alternative route home if you are able.
