Highways England warned motorists of the crash between Potters Bar and Waltham Cross at about 6.30am, tweeting: “Traffic stopped on M25 clockwise between J24 and J25 due to an incident.

“We’re just moving vehicles involved.

“Bear with us.”

One lane was closed, but traffic was allowed to pass through shortly after.
