M25 chaos: crashes, van fire and flooding cause long delays
Original: m25 traffic
Drivers on London's M25 are facing severe disruption, with multiple incidents reported across the motorway. A van fire blocked the road and caused huge queues, while crashes in Essex led to 60-90 minute delays with emergency crews at the scene. In Hertfordshire, lanes flooded amid heavy traffic, and multiple lanes were closed due to a reported defect, leaving parts of the orbital route gridlocked.
Why now: Multiple simultaneous incidents on Britain's busiest motorway are causing major delays for commuters.
