Road closed as Dartford man fighting for his after fatal collision

At 1:35 p.m., emergency personnel from South East Coast Ambulance Service crews and Kent Police officers were called to the area. Officers from Highways joined them, blocking off two lanes on the congested section of the highway so the emergency services could operate.

As a result, there was soon severe traffic congestion on the M25 in the opposite direction, which at its worst caused delays for cars of about half an hour. An early update from the travel and traffic tracking provider Inrix stated: “Two lanes closed and queueing traffic due to accident on M25 anticlockwise from J3 M20 J1 (Swanley Interchange) to J2 A2 (Darenth Interchange).”
