M25 chaos after lorry jack-knifes
A lorry containing boxes of golf balls has jack-knifed across the clockwise carriageway of the M25 in Surrey, causing a traffic tailback of 20 miles. The accident at junction seven, where the M25 meets the M23, has resulted in traffic chaos back to the Swanley interchange, at junction three in Kent.
Lanes one and two, which are the dedicated lanes for the M23, have been closed since 0545 BST.
Motorists have been warned to expect delays until at least early afternoon.
Traffic on the M26 heading westbound on to the clockwise M25 is also affected.
Eyewitnesses said hundreds of boxes of golf balls had spilled onto the motorway.
Mim Lovelock, from the Highways Agency control centre at Godstone, said a forklift truck was helping to remove the load, and the lorry, which was embedded into the side barrier, would then be taken off the carriageway.
No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
