A forty four tonne food waste lorry that crashed with a car on the M25 this morning (Friday) has caused two junctions to close for the next six to seven hours.

Junctions 21 (Bricket Wood) and 20 (Kings Langley) have been closed after the lorry crashed with the silver VW polo at about 10.30am.

Food waste has been strewn across the carriageway and the road is closed to allow cleaning to take place.

Officers are advising motorists to avoid the area if they can.
