On the M25 motorway in Surrey, two separate collisions have created a nightmare for commuters, resulting in traffic delays of approximately two hours. The first incident occurred between Junctions 10 (Wisley) and 11 (Chertsey) shortly after 6:30 am, closing two lanes and impacting an electric vehicle that necessitated specialized recovery efforts. Just moments later, a second and more serious crash took place between Junctions 9 (Leatherhead) and 10 at 6:47 am, further aggravating the situation as it closed another lane.

National Highways has reported that due to the proximity of these two collisions, the traffic congestion caused by each has merged, leading to extremely heavy congestion that has stretched across the area. Delays are currently reported to extend between Junction 8 (Reigate) and Junction 11, rendering full movement through this region nearly impossible during peak travel times. With commuters caught in a lengthy standstill, frustrations are high as recovery teams work to clear the wreckage and restore normal traffic flow.

As the incidents unfold, drivers are advised to seek alternative routes or expect prolonged wait times. The circumstances highlight not only the challenges posed by traffic during rush hour but also the potential hazards on UK roads as accidents can quickly lead to widespread disruption. National Highways continues to monitor the situation closely and provide updates to further assist those on the road during this hectic period.
