A stretch of the M25 has closed at peak rush hour after a motorbike crashed in Surrey.

Drivers face up to 45-minute delays and congestion snarling back for seven miles after the smash shortly after 8am today.

Traffic is held after the crash involving a motorbike, which happened on the anticlockwise carriageway between J11 (Ottershaw) and J10 (Wisley).

The ambulance service is at the scene, National Highways said.
