Traffic on a motorway has been cleared after cars were stopped due to a broken down car.

Earlier this evening a car had broken down in a live lane on the M25 heading clockwise at the J21A (Watford) exit.

Traffic had been temporarily held while officers moved the car to safety.

Highways England said in a tweet earlier: "#M25 J21A Clockwise Exit, there is a broken down car in live lane, #TrafficOfficers are towards, Signs and signals are set.

"We have stopped traffic whilst we prepare to clear this vehicle to a place of safety."

The car has now been moved to a safe location and traffic is running as normal.
