A multi-vehicle crash has shut a stretch of the M25 this morning - sparking travel chaos as drivers try to return to work after the Bank Holiday.

A lorry carrying hay bales burst into flames following the smash which occurred anti-clockwise between junction 25 at Enfield and junction 24 at Potters Bar.

The fire started just before 5.30am this morning, causing massive delays just before the start of rush hour.

It is understood that queues have already built up to at least seven miles - with drivers brought to a standstill.

National Highways has reported delays of up to at least 90 minutes - with a diversion in place that passes through London's ULEZ zone.
