A van carrying 11 greyhounds has overturned on the M25 this afternoon.

The blue Volkswagen panel van turned on its side on the anti-clockwise stretch near junction three for Swanley.

Police arrived shortly after midday and a man - believed to be in his 60s - was treated by paramedics at the scene.

He did not require hospital treatment.

None of the greyhounds, which were on their way to a race meeting tonight, suffered any injuries.

One lane was closed before the motorway was fully open again shortly after 1.30pm.
