A fuel tank from a lorry spilt diesel onto the M25 following a crash this morning. As a result of the spill, the road is partially blocked and there are large queues of traffic.

The car transporter lorry collided with a car at around 7am this morning, September 28, on the anticlockwise carriageway of the M25.

Following the collision, one lane has been closed on the entry of the slip road at junction 28 – Brentwood’s Brook Street Roundabout.

Recovery works are currently underway, meaning traffic is slow while one of the two lanes is closed. 

Essex Travel News tweeted about the incident which sees 250 litres of fuel being spilt across the road. 

They said: “M25 Junction 28 (A12/Brook Street) Accident and fuel spillage. 

“Car transporter has been hit and the fuel tank is damaged (250Ltrs of diesel on carriageway).”

The report comes following the UK’s current fuel crisis which saw motorists panic-buying this weekend, resulting in fuel stations across the country running out of supplies.

Mass panic buying has meant there is a nationwide fuel shortage, as motorists clog up Britain’s roads in search of supplies, resulting in chaos at pumps.
