There are five-mile delays on a busy motorway after a crash involving a lorry and van.

Two lanes were shut on the M25 clockwise which is causing congestion in the Dartford area.

The incident happened near Junction 1B A282 for Dartford at about 10.15am.

Traffic is building towards the Lakeside shopping centre in Essex.

Two lanes were shut but they have since reopened.

However, there are still five miles of queues which is adding 40 minutes to journey times on the M25 - spanning back to Junction 30, which serves the A13 in Essex.

A police spokesperson confirmed officers were called to the crash involving a lorry and a van at 10.15am.

"Officers attended the scene on the M25 near the slip road for the A282," they said. "No injuries were reported."

There's also delays on the M20 near Maidstone after traffic had to be held, following a crash.
