Drivers face heavy delays after one lane closed on a busy stretch of the M25 in Essex.

Lane four on the anticlockwise, just after the Brook Street Roundabout turn-off, has closed due to a broken down recovery truck.

The other three lanes remain open, however the closure is causing significant delays.

According to the AA, traffic is queuing back towards junction 29 for the A127, with delays reaching 13 minutes.

Average speeds have also fallen to around 10 miles per hour.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time if commuting through the area.
