Drivers are facing huge delays of up to 14 miles on the M25 after a serious crash earlier this morning. Part of the M25 was closed earlier this morning near the clockwise exit slip road to the A2 coast bound Darenth Interchange, following an incident.

A spokesman from Kent Police told Express.co.uk: “Kent Police officers attended the scene of a serious collision involving two vehicles on the A2 coastbound near the Darenth Interchange, which happened at about 6.15am.

“One man was treated at the scene by South East Coast Ambulance Service before being taken to a London hospital with serious injuries.

“The carriageway was closed while officers from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit carried out their initial enquiries.

“They have since left the scene.”

Highways England wrote on Twitter: “Please be aware that this A2 closure is causing significant delays on the M25 Dartford Crossing.

“There is approximately 60 minute delays above normal journey times on the M25 A282 approaching J2.”

KMFM News wrote on Twitter: “There are now severe delays on the A2 London bound with traffic queuing for 14 miles at the M25 Junction 2 (Darenth Interchange) as people try to avoid problems on the M20.

“Congestion is all the way back to Chatham on the M2.”

The M25 clockwise exit slip road to the A2 coast bound was closed because of the crash at J2 for the Darenth Interchange.

Drivers were warned the serious crash was causing delays on the M25 in both directions because of the incident.

KMFM News wrote: “The A2 is still closed coast bound at the Darenth Interchange following a serious crash early this morning.

“It’s causing long delays on the M25 in both directions, with police warning there could be several hours of disruption.”

They later added: “Drivers are continuing to face really long delays following a crash earlier that’s closed the M25 clockwise exit slip road to A2 coast bound at the Darenth Interchange.”

BBC London Travel wrote: “The A2 remains closed Kentbound from the M25 to the Bean Interchange.

“Severe delays on the A2, M25 and all around Dartford.”

At around 1pm, BBC London Travel reported: “A2 eastbound between M25 and Bean Interchange REOPENED.”

But, they added: “Queues remain on A2 eastbound back into Bexley, on M25 both directions between J3 and 1A, and on routes through Dartford such as Oakfield Lane, A225, and East Hill.”
