Two separate road accidents on the M25 in Surrey caused significant traffic delays this morning, impacting drivers during rush hour. The first incident occurred around 6:31 am between Junctions 10 (Wisley) and 11 (Chertsey), followed by a more serious collision at 6:47 am between Junctions 9 (Leatherhead) and 10. National Highways warned that the merging traffic from both accidents led to heavy congestion in the broader area.
Although all lanes have reopened, drivers are still facing delays of up to 90 minutes between Junctions 9 and 11. Recovery operations are ongoing at the crash sites, specifically in lane four of the M25 clockwise, causing continued traffic congestion. The closures are between Junctions 9 and 10, as well as between Junctions 10 and 11, resulting in two-hour delays from Junction 9 to Junction 11.
A live traffic camera footage shows numerous vehicles stuck in a long queue between Junctions 10 and 11 on the M25 in Surrey, where recovery efforts are underway for the two nearby collisions. Congestion from both incidents has combined, leading to delays of up to 120 minutes between Junction 8 in Reigate and Junction 11 in Chertsey. Motorists are advised to plan ahead, allocate extra time, and explore alternative routes to manage the heavy traffic conditions.
Following the back-to-back crashes early in the morning, drivers are cautioned to anticipate delays of at least two hours on the M25 in Surrey. National Highways highlighted the merging traffic causing substantial congestion between Junction 8 (Reigate) and Junction 11, with traffic moving at a slow pace. The initial collision occurred between Junctions 10 and 11, resulting in two closed lanes for vehicle recovery, including an electric vehicle requiring specialized handling and causing 30-minute delays with three-mile queues. The more severe crash between Junctions 9 and 10 led to one lane closure, extensive delays, and queues stretching back to Junction 8.
