A section of the M25 has been closed following a serious lorry fire.

The incident happened between junction 5 near Sevenoaks and junction 6 for Godstone at around 10pm on Sunday.

All lanes in a clockwise direction are closed following the incident, which involved a heavy goods vehicle.

The carriageway is likely to remain closed until at least midday, National Highways said.

"Specialist recovery will be required and the road surface will likely need to be resurfaced," it added.

Surrey Fire and Rescue said it sent seven appliances and warned drivers to avoid the area.

The anti-clockwise carriageway has now reopened, but lanes three and four remain closed within junction 6.

The stretch of road had earlier been closed in both directions.

The M26 westbound between junction 2A near Wrotham Heath and the junction with the M25 and A21, has also been closed, National Highways said.
