An accident on the M25 has caused six miles of queues to form heading towards the Dartford Crossing.

The crash, on the QEII Bridge, has closed two lanes on the clockwise carriageway and there are long delays going from Essex into Kent.

Traffic is queuing back to J29 (A127) and it is adding around 45 minutes to journey times.
