Drivers have been caught in traffic mayhem on the M25 – UK’s busiest motorway – after a string of crashes and incidents.
A stretch of the M25 was closed in both directions after a crash involving a car and a motorbike this afternoon between junctions J15 (M4) and J14 (Airport Way/Heathrow).
The motorbike rider was rushed to the hospital with potentially life-changing injuries, a Met Police spokesperson told Metro.
Now the M25 is closed anticlockwise between J6 (Godstone) and J5 (Sevenoaks) after a police-led incident.

Traffic is queuing between junctions J4 and J5 anticlockwise as drivers wait to continue on the M25.
