There are long delays on the M25 after a dumper truck fell off a transporter.

All lanes have just been opened (3pm) clockwise at j18 but there is nearly six miles of congestion approaching where the crash happened.

Police were initially called at 12.20pm today to reports of an HGV on its side - a dump truck.

All traffic was temporarily stopped to allow emergency  services to attend the scene at Chorleywood.

There was debris strewn across a number of lanes and highways also had to deal with a diesel spillage.

Lanes were gradually opened but the entry slip road and lane 1 were shut for the last two hours or so to allow recovery.

All lanes are now open.

No other vehicles are believed to have been involved apart from the transporter which was carrying the truck which can be seen pictured on the hard shoulder.
