Major motorway shuts as lorry smashes into central reservation
A stretch of the M25 has been closed in Surrey after a lorry crashed into the central reservation.
The closure applies to the anticlockwise route between Junction 10 for the A3 to Junction 8 for Reigate. National Highways said a lorry has “struck the central reservation and come to rest sideways across the carriageway”.
The vehicle has reportedly been removed and the road surface is “being assessed by a specialist engineer for damages”.
A diversion is in place via A-roads but thousands of journeys are expected to be delayed this morning.
