M25 Traffic Disruption: Six-Vehicle Crash Causes Major Delays

A significant traffic incident this morning on the M25 has resulted in extensive delays for motorists. A crash involving five cars and one van occurred on the clockwise carriageway prior to junction 11, A320 St Peters Way in Chertsey, causing one lane to close and congestion to build.

According to Inrix, the traffic reporting service, “Long delays and one lane closed due to accident on M25 clockwise before J11 A320 St Peters Way (Chertsey).” The disruption has led to queues extending back towards junction 9 in Leatherhead, with reports indicating congestion stretching to approximately one mile before Cobham Services.

Motorists are advised to expect delays as the aftermath of the crash continues to cause significant disruption. The situation is further complicated by additional incidents on the route. Inrix noted that there were delays reaching junction 8 (Reigate) and a temporary hold at junction 10 (Wisley) due to a broken-down vehicle.

Authorities are on the scene to manage the situation and assist affected drivers. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternative routes where possible to avoid the lengthy queues. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by commuters on one of the UK’s busiest motorways, particularly during peak travel times.
