M25 closed in rush hour after lorry crashes and overturns

Part of the M25 is closed due to a waste lorry crashing into another HGV, causing a significant spillage of oil, diesel, and waste, forcing the anticlockwise carriageway to close between junctions five and six since 3:45 am. National Highways indicated that cleanup will be extensive and complex, with the road expected to remain closed through the morning peak, resulting in severe delays for commuters. A diversion route has been established, and traffic behind the crash has been released past the scene, with delays reported of up to 45 minutes.
