Traffic is mounting on several major roads after an M25 crash this morning (January 16).
Two lanes were closed between junction 19 near Watford and 18 for Chorleywood after a collision on the anticlockwise carriageway caused hour-long delays.
The stretch has been reopened but rush-hour congestion is persisting at several points back to junction 22 for St Albans.
Anticlockwise #M25 is queueing in patches from J22 St Albans towards J18 Chorleywood due to the earlier collision.
