A section of the M25 is closed in Kent after a lorry struck a bridge this morning.
Emergency services are on the scene and it is not yet known if there are any injuries.
The M25 clockwise between junction 3 (Swanley) and junction 4 (Orpington) was closed as of 7.20am, while congestion has built up back to junction 2 at the Darenth Interchange.
