Traffic is being delayed by about two hours on a section of the M25 after a “serious” lorry fire resulted in 12 miles (19.3km) of congestion, National Highways says.
On Friday morning, National Highways said two of three lanes on the clockwise carriageway between junction five, near Sevenoaks in Kent, and junction six, near Godstone in Surrey, had been closed.
Surrey Police said it was made aware of the incident at about 01:30 and Surrey Fire and Rescue Service said it left the scene at about 03:15 as the blaze had been extinguished.
Traffic monitoring site Inrix said one lane was still closed as of 10:00 but “severe delays” remained.
