Traffic is beginning to pile up following a crash on the M25 earlier today.

The accident happened on the M25 anticlockwise from junction 3 of the M20 (Swanley Interchange), near to junction 2 (Darenth Interchange).

Lane one of four was closed but all have since been reopened following the collision.

Residual traffic is now predicted to build up.

Cameras show several vehicles on the hard shoulder being attended to by highways teams.

It follows after motorists faced delays following a vehicle fire on the M25 near Dartford this morning.

UPDATE: Traffic appears to have cleared since the incident occurred.
