Heavy traffic on the M25 is being caused by onlooking drivers to an accident on the other side of the carriageway.

The M25 anticlockwise is experiencing heavy traffic between junction 26 near to Waltham Abbey and junction 25 at the A10.

The cause of the tailback is due to motorists on the anticlockwise road slowing to look at the crash which happened on the road moving clockwise.

There have been no reports of how many vehicles were involved in the accident on the road going clockwise.

The M11 northbound is also experiencing slow traffic after a three vehicle crash this morning.
