Car fire and 'multi-vehicle' crash cause long motorway delays
There are delays on the motorway this morning following a car fire and then a crash on the same stretch of the M25.
All lanes have been reopened on the M25 clockwise between junction 16 for the M40 and junction 17 for Maple Cross, but traffic is still queueing.
At around 6am this morning there was a car fire, with firefighters from Gerrards Cross, Langley, Beaconsfield and Slough using hose reels and breathing apparatus to bring the blaze under control.
Around two hours later, there was a "multi-vehicle" crash on the same stretch, with three lanes closed by the emergency services.
All lanes have now reopened following the crash after the vehicles were moved onto the hard shoulder but there are still long delays.
