Drivers have been warned of delays after an overturned van led to part of a motorway being closed.

The anti-clockwise M25 was shut between junctions 28 and 27, near Epping and Brentwood in Essex, at about 09:00 BST.

Congestion back to the Dartford Crossing has created hour-long waits for motorists, but the road has since been partially reopened.

National Highways called the incident a "serious collision".
