Commuters face severe delays this morning after a late night crash involving an HGV.

The crash took place at about 11.30pm last night between J26 and J27 of the M25 anticlockwise but Highways England has said there are still 90 minute delays this morning as one lane closure is still in place.

The incident involved an unladden articulated HGV which left the carriageway of the M25 following a crash with another car.

The lorry overturned down the nearside verge and caused an extensive diesel leak from the HGV.

Highways England reported three seriously injured casualites and one minor injury.
