THERE are long delays on the M25 after a lorry broke down.
Commuters are sitting in traffic queues as loss as an hour-and-a-half after a vehicle broke down on the M25 anticlockwise between junctions 28 (Epping) and 27 (Brentwood).
A lorry has broken down and leaked diesel fuel across across the motorway.
3 lanes (of 4) are closed on the #M25 anti-clockwise between J28 (#Chelmsford #A12) and J27 (for the #M11) due to a broken down lorry which is leaking diesel across the carriageway.
